Username not Working with Session Options when SSH Private Key Auth Utilized

Hello,

If I use username/password combination, the script opens with Username as expected, ie. open sftp://user:**@sftp.blah.com:22

However, if I specify SshPrivateKeyPath, it does NOT utilize the username and instead attempts to prompt for it, even if the username is specified in the SessionOptions properties.

Ie. open sftp://blah.com:22 
...

Username:   (Password: NO, Key file: Yes, Passphrase: Yes)

..

Reading key file"blah.ppk"

Prompt (username, "SSH login name", <no instructions>, "login as:" 

Prompting user for credentials.

Prompt cancelled.

User aborted at username prompt

Attempt to close connection due to fatal exception:

**Credentials were not specified**

Why does the username/password work, and not the SSH Key?
