I've never done this, but a few things come to mind:

1. Have you tried moving all of these files into the program's working 
directory, and giving just the file name?  That completely eliminates 
any concerns about relative vs. absolute paths, forward vs. backslashes, 
etc.

2. If your file naming is to be believed, you're using the same key file 
on both sides of the connection.  That isn't how public key cryptography 
works, in my experience.

3. Have you tried doing this with just the plain C API?  Once you get it 
working that way, you can start adding abstraction layers.
