[JENKINS-6511] Subversion Authentication: Field for Private key does not allow file path on server to specified

I am using the "svn+ssh" protocol to access my Subversion repository. The SSH Private keys are stored on a Cent-OS 5.3 server where I am running Hudson.

In setting up the Hudson Subversion Authentication I attempt to enter the path to the SSH Private Key. I am presented with a File Explorer window that requires me to specify a path on my Windows XP machine where I am running the Web Browser.

This will not do. The SSH Private key is located on the Cent-OS 5.3 machine where the Hudson process is running and NOT on my Windows machine where I am running the browser.
