One cache directory is assumed to be one box, one box is assumed to be one
key.  You will need to run --fsck every time you switch keys, so that
tarsnap can sync your cache with it's state on the remote server.

If you need to use different keys on the same box for some reason, at
least try different cache directories.  I think that works.  (I think I
tried it while building a new box at one point, restoring from the old and
backing up the new.  But I can't recall exactly if I actually set that up
or if I just figured out that it should work.)
