You should enter the username as git and not put the git@ in the scm url.

What is happening is that github expects that the username for your key
will *always* be "git". When you specify a username in an ssh key, the git
plugin then replaces the git@ with your username... so despite the fact
that my github username is stephenc I put the username of the private key
my jenkins uses to connect to github as "git" and it should all "just work™"
