My new one got installed about 11 hours ago, so someone is watching
sometimes ;-)

Alas, SSH-related error messages are atrocious.  Two things to check
on your end:

1. Make sure Pageant has loaded your new key.

2. Make sure your `ssh` alias (probably set in your Mecurial.ini) also
   specifies your new key file.

For #2, here's what's in my Merurial.ini now:

ssh = "C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg\lib\TortoisePlink.exe" -ssh -2 -C
-i C:\Code\.ssh\newkey.ppk

Screw up anything on either end, and you get the same useless error message :-(
