I tracked down what my mistake was, the wallet import format key I was using was incorrect.
The steps listed at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Wallet_import_format don't mention that the WIF changes based on if you intend to use the compressed or uncompressed public key to create the address. Before getting the checksum I needed to add the byte 0x01 to the end of the versioned private key.
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/List_of_address_prefixes tricked me a bit too since it says that testnet private keys should start with a 9 ( compressed private keys should start with a c it looks like).
Topic: bitcoind signrawtransaction returning unsigned raw transaction (Read 1775 times)
I would like to create and sign the transaction without putting the private key into bitcoind, thank you though.
If the private key is already in your wallet just leave it out. You can leave out ALL too unless for some specific reason you need to use it.
Using bitcoind on testnet I am trying to create a transaction and sign it. When I sign the transaction, the signrawtransaction seems to return the unsigned raw transaction and I'm not sure why.
Here is the address I'm using:

Any ideas about where I went wrong that the signed transaction appears unsigned and complete is marked false?
