Please verify the command -- what you've written is invalid and returns
a syntax error.


Do i need to use
the fingerprint somewhere? Maybe thats the problem!?


No, the fingerprint isn't needed. You do, though, need to transfer the
public key that is created to each target system you intend to scan and
put it in "~/.ssh/authorized_keys" for the user you created for the scan
there. Have you done that?

P.S. If you're going to reply to the mailing list, please make sure
you're subscribed using the email you send with so I don't have to
manually approve your messages each time.
