Its looking for something in your /sdcard directory is pure text.
Put your private key there. Then erase it after you import.
IMHO, its safer to generate a key, (and use a password incase your device is
stolen) and then long press that key and select copy public key. Move that to
the server.
Remember, to connect to a server you need a Private key on the local device and
a corresponding public key on the remote device.
You don't want to be sending private keys around, much safer to send public
keys. The only time you should be moving private keys to the device is if you
are not authorized to manager your own "authorized_keys" file on the target
server.

connectbot failed to import my openssh key. No reason given why. Failed to
parse.

It gives "failed to parse" to me too on v.1.7.1 2010.10.08
I'm trying to re-import on a tablet the private key I used on my old phone
(exported via cut-and-paste and reimported via bluetooth) so it's a key
generated by Connectbot itself.
BTW, when you have to change device, migrating keys via cleartext cut-and-paste
is very annoying to say the least and a useless risk too: if I could just move
the file it would at least be protected by the passphrase. But I have to remove
the passphrase to cut-and-paste the key. Ugly! :(
