I just checked this in Poser 6. You probably have the server daemon's window selected (it has focus) and it will take all keyboard input (as it should).
You can select Poser's document window (or any other Poser thingy), then the server daemon will lose focus and Poser will take all keyboard input.
I typically run the server daemon minimized to the task bar. In this configuration Poser will have focus and take all keyboard input. The server daemon will still function properly in this configuation and it won't be taking up space on your screen. Poser is also a little more responsive this way.
