Can't access private keys by using RSACryptoServiceProvider

Hi,
I am trying to use RSACryptoServiceProvider in my ASP.NET application to access keys from a MachineKeyStore on my computer, running windows xp and IIS 5.
I created machinekeystore like following in Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt:

aspnet_regiis -pc "CustomKeys" -exp (command was successful)

Then I executed following command because I am impersonating my web application with a non-default user:

aspnet_regiis -pa "CustomKeys" "domain\auserforapplication" (command was successful)

Then I worte the following code:

public partial class Examples_EncryptionExample : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    CspParameters CspParam;
    string publicXmlString = string.Empty;
    string privateXmlString = string.Empty;
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            byte []  encrypted;
            string decrypted;

            UnicodeEncoding ByteConverter = new UnicodeEncoding();
            encrypted = EncrptData("data to encrypt");
            Response.Write(System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(encrypted));
            decrypted = DecryptData(encrypted);
            Response.Write(decrypted);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
        }
    }

    public string DecryptData(byte [] data)
    {
        RSACryptoServiceProvider RsaCsp;
        byte[] decryptedData;
        RsaCsp = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
        RsaCsp.FromXmlString(privateXmlString);
        decryptedData = RsaCsp.Decrypt(data, false);
        return System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(decryptedData);
    }

    public byte [] EncrptData(string data)
    {
        RSACryptoServiceProvider RsaCsp;
        RSACryptoServiceProvider RsaCsp2;
        UnicodeEncoding ByteConverter = new UnicodeEncoding();
        CspParam = new CspParameters();
        CspParam.KeyContainerName = "CustomKeys";
        CspParam.Flags = CspProviderFlags.UseMachineKeyStore;

        byte[] encryptedData = ByteConverter.GetBytes(data);

        RsaCsp = new RSACryptoServiceProvider(CspParam);

        //Getting public key
        publicXmlString = RsaCsp.ToXmlString(false);
        //Getting private key
        privateXmlString = RsaCsp.ToXmlString(true);

        RsaCsp2 = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
        RsaCsp2.FromXmlString(publicXmlString);
        encryptedData = RsaCsp2.Encrypt(System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(data), false);

        return encryptedData;
    }
}

The problem over here is that when ever I try to execute the above mentioned code. Code encrypts the data fine
but when it comes at decrypting the data, throws following exception:

Exception Details: System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: The system cannot find the file specified.

I could control the above mentioned error by doing a nasty trick which is. The account "domain\auserforapplication" which I am impersonating my application with. I used a utility in windows xp accessible from "All Programs/Accessories/System Tool/Schedule Tasks" to create a process e.g. executed calc.exe application under the account "domain\auserforapplication". Everything started working fine. No error nothing.

A million dollar question is why did I get the above mentioned error at the first place? Why did I had to start a new process under the indentity of my application on my machine.

If somebody could answer my question. I will highly appreciate that because then I have another question regarding exporting the keys to Windows 2003 Server and using keys over there. That problem is even nasty.

For now I will highly appriciate if somebody could answer my current question.
Thanks
