Some further information. I changed everything over to read both keyfiles into byte arrays privatekey and publickey.
and then call addIdentity( name, privatekey, publickey, passphrase); // I just passed (byte[])null for passphrase since there is none and still I get same error: invalid privatekey: [B@41a9d1e0 When I dump the arrays to the Log as strings the keys are correct.
