Private key authentication problem

Hello,

In the online document: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/manual.html, there's
the following:

Get a file from an SSH server using SCP using a private key to authenticate:
 
        curl -u username: --key ~/.ssh/id_dsa --pubkey ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub \
                scp://shell.example.com/~/personal.txt

Unfortunately, this is not working for me. I tried using this command specifically:

curl -T hi -u user: --key ~/.ssh/id_rsa --pubkey ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub --limit-rate 1M sftp://host/home/user/hi.txt

As you can see, I don't include the "\" and I use rsa instead of dsa - maybe that's what problematic.
However, when I type the command "ssh hostname" I am able to get through using the same keys listed in the
command. Any ideas?

Thanks
