Joe,

sn -tp should not be run on a snk file that contains both the private and
public keys. Try first extracting the public key using sn -p, then running
sn -tp on the file that contains only the public key. If this still doesn't
work, perhaps your key pair file is corrupted, in which case generating a
new key pair using sn -k might be your best bet.

HTH,
Nicole
