The error notes specifically the private-key file, so the bundle
is not the issue.

What does the file look like (do NOT post the whole thing publically!) ?


The first couple of line should be, for the expected format, something like

    -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
    MIIEvAIBADANBgkqh...


and there should be a line

    -----END PRIVATE KEY-----


after the block of ascii-ized binary data.
