   |    Ok, here is one of my key sets that fail:
   |-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
   |MIICdwIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASCAmEwggJdAgEAAoGBALjYkwBTqhl5P8E
   |NLB5jOUeIybMI2DL7bmQ1wTpWC8KCBaeCQmgqB/dUS23qYPJuaiuRnqofC7vsqr
   ...

JSch has expected PKCS#5 private keys, which usually start with
  -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- or
  -----BEGIN DSA PRIVATE KEY-----
, but it seems your key is in PKCS#8 format.
Some hacks will be required to support such a format.
If you can't wait for that hack, you may want to convert it into PKCS#5 format,
  $ openssl ras -in your_key -out your_new_key
