Hi Jeremy,
I did suspect this, but the private key is in the correct format.
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
MIIEvQIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASCBKcwggSjAgEAAoIBAQCfHGSy2Xa86a6u
[24 extra lines]
teQhR4s9S0uGkQ5UJMz51JY=
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----
Also, Carrying out the same process for the Apache server on my web
server, using the same certificate, bundle, and private key has worked fine.

I seem to remember in the past that I had to merge the certificate
with the bundle, so I did that too, but I still get the above error.
The error notes specifically the private-key file, so the bundle
is not the issue.
What does the file look like (do NOT post the whole thing publically!) ?
The first couple of line should be, for the expected format, something
like
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
MIIEvAIBADANBgkqh...
and there should be a line
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----
after the block of ascii-ized binary data.
