"com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: fromBase64: invalid base64 data" while trying to deploy in EC2

[HIraolaE]

I tried this with the latest commits of the 3 branches of the project. All give me the same problems.

I am trying to deploy storm cluster in aws. The 4 virtual machines are created in my amazon account. However, when the message "com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: fromBase64: invalid base64 data" apperas in the logs the execution stops and the 4 created virtual machines remain running in ec2. These machines have not storm installed.

I am running it OS X: 10.9.2 and java -version output looks like:

java version "1.7.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode) 

My clusters.yaml looks like this

################################################################################

nimbus.image: "us-east-1/ami-d726abbe"         #64-bit ubuntu

I am launching my cluster using the following command

lein deploy-storm --start --name clusterhodei --branch master --commit 0.9.0-rc2

The first line of the output looks like this:

DEBUG jclouds - Failed to find credentials annotation, using credentials supplier

It doesn't seem affected and the execution goes in its way. After a while these messages are logged:

Facing the exact same issue on ubuntu with java version

root@storm:/storm-deploy# java -version
java version "1.7.0_75"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.5.4) (7u75-2.5.4-1precise1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.75-b04, mixed mode)

Also tried on master, install-0.9.1 and update-closure-jclouds branch as well. Stops at the exact same point always.
