Heroku create - not uploading ssh key

Question

I am in the process of deploying my Rails app to Heroku. I am developing on Windows XP. I've created my public SSH key, it loaded in my github account and it test out okay over ssh. The issue is that when I create heroku application it never uploads my key. I'm prompted for my email and password and then it just give me an application URL (which check out okay.) When I then try to push my app to Heroku is gives me an error - Permission denied (publickey). fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

The only thing that I can guess is that the 'heroku create' command can not find my ssh key. Is there anyway to specify the path to the key. I have a .heroku folder with a credential file in my home directory. I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Have you run the heroku command to upload your ssh key to their servers?

heroku keys:add

You should see something like "Uploading ssh public key C:\Users[name].ssh\id_rsa.pub"
