They're different keys.

The problem seems to be triggered by use of zazen-tarsnap.key.

backup.sh is really:

exec /usr/local/bin/tarsnap -P  -c --exclude /usr/local/tarsnap-cache -f
ceres-home-$(date +%F) /home /var/mail /etc /usr

It's using a separate ceres-tarsnap.key.

As far as I know everything is using /usr/local/tarsnap-cache.
