I have a request in with Fortinet to understand why this is.

In the meantime, I've written a small patch to strip the private key from
the config rancid keeps.  It works, though I'm not yet sure if ignoring
this key is a sensible thing to do.  If I get a decent answer from Fortinet
I'll pass it on here.
