only one country has actually signed said "agreement": Romania.
We need to be more careful with words than this - at the time of the writing, only one country may have ratified it (that is, had its legislative body, or some portion thereof [in the US it's the Senate that does this] vote to accept and implement it), but dozens had signed it, by having an official representative sign it. The US often begins operating according to treaty agreements prior to full ratification, as it can be a very involved process.
For the current status, from the UN web site: "as of 9-May-2001, 84 Parties have signed and 34 Parties have ratified or acceded to the Kyoto Protocol."
Sadly, progress on that front doesn't counter the argument that the US Senate is not likely to want to buy this particular doggie in the window. Harrumph®
