Sounds like you wanted to write to

~/.ssh/id_monotone

? If this was just a typo in this email and there is still an error,
please run the command again with --debug and attach the full output in
your next email...

Thanks,
Thomas.

I can reproduce this when the '.ssh' directory does not exist. I tested
with a non-dot directory as well, with the same result. It seems that
monotone doesn't create the missing directory. When the directory exists
everything is working.

The fix would be to either create the directory or at least print a more
meaningful error message.

Yeah, it looks like the bug is just that ssh_agent_export isn't
properly checking for errors on the file-open call, so when that fails
you're getting the ugly default "unhandled exception" error message
instead of a prettier one.  So it should be fixed, but doesn't
represent any kind of dire data-eating problem, just a cosmetic one.

Oh dear. Apologies. It seems that there was a typo. Also, I found that it would create the directory if it does not exist..

Cheers,
Tom
