Yes, the key looks fine :)

"ssl_restore_session can't find stored session" -> Looks like the session
is using an earlier SSL-session for which it still has all the negotiated
keys and state information. Did you make sure the *full* ssl handshake
is in the trace? The easist way to do this is to close your browser (all
instances of it), start the trace, open the browser and visit the https
site you are testing. Make sure you see the "server key exchange" and
the "client key exchange" messages in the trace.

If that does not help, maybe a full debug-file (gzipped?) might 
help...

Cheers,
