The trouble with Aule

So what is it precisely that gets Aule and his minions in trouble? Sauron and Saruman were Maiar of Aule, and the Noldor were most closely associated with Aule as well. Aule himself got into some hot water over the Dwarves, but came up with a brilliant save when confronted. The key seems to be humility, or the lack thereof. Although Aule himself was properly humble, and thus saved the Dwarves, everyone else associated with him seems to fail this test. Why?

Ideas?
