Failed import of private key

I'm trying to import the private key from a Bitcoin Wallet address. The private key is as follows (don't worry, I'm deleting the address from my wallet): Kz9Eyg1rL27RnkUmmkofeyxdbWSn7ARQTdCiVKHLKxdhrMGNj

When I try to import that into my Armory wallet, I get the error message:

The private key you have entered is actually not valid for the elliptic curve used by Bitcoin (secp256k1). Almost any 64-character hex is a valid private key except for those greater than:

fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffebaaedce6af48a03bbfd25e8cd0364141

Please try a different private key.

This imports fine into applications such as brainwallet.org, however, and even display the correct public address. The associated public address is: 1N6TrY9HKhwS4G1AmAB1V7BjckqD7BtT2F
