before the daemon can import. You might also need the rpcport in the bitcoin.conf too, not sure.

I don't know why you would have a space before bitcoind but that is irrelevant because you are getting the error.

root@coined:/home# bitcoind -daemon
Bitcoin server starting
root@coined:/home# bitcoind importprivkey "5zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzCia9dt7" "dude"
error: {"code":-4,"message":"Error adding key to wallet"}
