You're welcome.

Uhmm, you do know that most devices will not import a private key, and
will instead have a couple of predefined ones or will allow you to
create news ones, right?

I would have a chat with the OpenSC (http://www.opensc-project.org/)
guys, as they've already written an engine module that interfaces
pkcs11 libraries.  There are a few other implementations floating
in our contrib area as well.

Cheers,
Richard
