Brent:

Sorry, I didn't read your post closely enough the first time. I think 
you also need to convert the openssh private key (id_dsa) into a form 
that putty can use. If I recall correctly there should be a utility 
included with the full putty application that does this for you. Check 
the included documentation on how to do this properly.

Cheers,
