SunPKCS11 provider - write key on a SmartCard

Question

I use provider SunPKCS11 and without any troubles I can read certificates and key from the cryptographic card, but every attempt of writing anything on the card results with an error during setKeyEntry method call:
-Example------------------------------------------------------------------
sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11 p =
new sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11(configFileName);
Security.addProvider(p);
KeyStore.PasswordProtection pp = new KeyStore.PasswordProtection(pin);
KeyStore.Builder builder =
KeyStore.Builder.newInstance("pkcs11",p ,pp);
KeyStore store = builder.getKeyStore();
store.setKeyEntry("pawel", privKey, null, chain); //error
-error--------------------------------------------------------------------
Exception in thread "main" java.security.KeyStoreException: sun.security.pkcs11.wrapper.PKCS11Exception: CKR_TEMPLATE_INCOMPLETE

... 3 more
I think this error may be caused by improper configuration of the file pkcs11.config, but I can be, of course, mistaken.
the files which I used to performs test look as follows:
-file1---------------------------------------------------------------------
name=CryptoCard
library=C:\WINNT\system32\CCPkiP11.dll
-file2---------------------------------------------------------------------
name=CryptoCard
library=C:\WINNT\system32\CCPkiP11.dll

CKA_SENSITIVE=true
attributes(*,CKO_PRIVATE_KEY,*) = {

attributes(*,CKO_PRIVATE_KEY,*) = {

attributes(*,CKO_PRIVATE_KEY,*) = {

attributes(*,CKO_PRIVATE_KEY,*) = {

Hi, i would like to know if you did have a "java.security.ProviderException : Initialization failed" and how you did resolved this problem.
Or maybe you have an idea to solve this problem.
My code is :
1-      String configName = "C:\\pkcs11.cfg";
2-      Provider provider = new sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11(configName);
3-      Security.addProvider(provider);
The exception point out the second line.
My config file contains :
name=Java
ibrary=C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_01\bin\j2pkcs11.dll
Thanks a lot to anyone who will help me to solve this problem.
Regards.
