Looking at the comments of the post, there may be an issue with ssh-agent not being able to decode PKCS 8 private keys. Needs testing.

dolmen commented 11 years ago

Must test that PKCS 8 private keys work with various SSH agents: ssh-agent (from OpenSSH), gnome-keyring, kwallet.

Apparently this is not supported on OpenSSH on MacOX X 10.9. Needs confirmation.
