Hi all, I'm having trouble getting my SVN+SSH desired configuration up and running... Here's some background...

For the private/public key, I am migrating from another machine so I already have the private key. I used ssh-add to add it to my identities and I can ssh no problem now. So that works... And yes, my key has a passphrase on it.

If I use Syncro SVN Client, it lets me manually choose a key / passphrase and I can browse the SVN repo without any problem.

HOWEVER, I much prefer SNVX... Open source, nicer interface, etc. Well, when I enter in my svn+ssh paths and such in SVNX, it doesn't let me choose my key or enter a passphrase, so i think it just goes to system defaults or whatever, but I get the following error:
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic).
svn: Connection closed unexpectedly

Anyone know how to properly configure this? Obviously my SVN+SSH connection is working perfectly as I can browse the repo w/ Syncro, but I can't get SVNX to work properly with it. I have googled for hours with no real success, and I'm hoping that someone can shed some light on this.

As far as using the program SSHKeychain, when I run the script it says the installer failed and is rather buggy. So I'd prefer to avoid that and just get everything setup in the terminal.
