I just double checked and there is a jclouds# key in the authorized_ssh. Because I have my own AMI with my key already authorized, I really don't need jclouds to do any messing around with keys. I just need it to use the one that's already there, which is doing I think with overrideLoginCredentials, but is also creating a new key pair. Maybe I'm overcomplicating this, but it seems like just having one key is a good simple solution. Thanks!
