Same issue for me, but I'm not using a keyfile.

1.- If i pass the password manually it works
2.- If i used the System.Security.SecureString doesn't work and get the same error

I had similar issue. My initial keyfile, I've generated using Format version 2.0(recommended). However, when I've generated new keyfile using Format Version 1.0(compatible with older KeePass version/ports) I was able to use PoShKeePass with keyfile.
