Bug Description

in environments.yaml, specifying authorized-keys-path as an absolute path results in the error message, "Invalid SSH key". it would be much more helpful to print out the exact precondition that makes the SSH key invalid, for instance, "could not find SSH key in '/home/me/.ec2/ec2.pem'" or some such.

I ended up misreading the code here when talking to jeremy on irc, it will try the full path and then the value as a name in ~/.ssh.

The error here is not actually from not finding the keys (which would be a LookupError) but using the amazon keypair (the .pem file).. which won't work with ensemble (Invalid SSH Key error is from ssh command)

summary: - authorized-keys-path is actually a filename, not a path.
+ Document that amazon key pairs are not valid for ensemble ssh keys.

Updated bug title to reflect that we probably need some additional docs to this effect.

I'm seeing this in Natty (11.04) using the PPA as well. I was able to 'ensemble bootstrap', but 'ensemble status' causes this message. I had created ssh keys using 'ssh-keygen -t rsa' to get 'ensemble bootstrap' to work.
