Here is a debug output (joined to this mail), I hope it will help you ! I  
have commented it a little bit.
BTW, the content of the error message is :
Private key is not available for this certificate :
/O=Access Grid/OU=agdev-ca.mcs.anl.gov/OU=<snip>/CN=<snip>
You will have to reimport or otherwise obtain a new copy.

(What did I do ? I have copied an existing /home/user/.AccessGrid folder,  
of an user with a valid certificate, into the /home/user/.AccessGrid of my  
iso, before burning it. Then after burning, I have launched VenueClient.py  
--personalNode).

The trouble is that anonymous certificates prevent often from connecting  
to some Venue, like the Asian Pacific one for example. So it's exactly  
appropriate.

Thanks all for your help

Cheers,
