Recovering Encrypted Pool

[user39r8hiwugr]

Today I lost my mirrored USB flash boot drives in my FreeNAS system after 9 months of trouble-free operation. (Lesson learned.) I've replaced those USB flash drives with a SATA SSD and reinstalled FreeNAS to the SSD. After installation I restored from my configuration backup.

All appeared well until I attempted to unlock the encrypted disk pool. I received the error in the attached screenshot. At that point I tried to unlock with my geli.key recovery key file. Same error.

This is a home installation for personal use running on a Dell Optiplex 7010 with an Intel Core i7-3770 processor and 16GB of non-ECC memory. I'm using a Dell H310 SAS HBA cross-flashed to Avago / LSI 9211-8i IT (Initiator Target) firmware version P20 (specifically 20.00.07.00). Attached to the Dell H310 are four Seagate Barracuda 1.8TB SAS drives.

Any thoughts the board may have about this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Oh! Almost forgot. I'm running FreeNAS-11.2-U7.

Update 1: I exported the pool (but did not erase the data or configured shares) and tried reimporting with my geli.key file. Then I received the following error:

Code:

From the "More info..." link I also got:

I'm not sure what changed since last night, but today entering my geli.key and encryption passphrase worked. I was able to import the pool. I don't understand what's different but something must be.
