The Surrogate Key Generator stage can not do anything except generate unique keys (provided you use the same source consistently) unless you re-initialize it. It doesn't matter what these keys are used for.

I tested the same some time back and it worked for me. As Ray said, you need to provide the same file and path to all the jobs.
