Is this exactly what you provided? This has an alias of "-mackey2", not "mackey2" (note the leading hyphen).

This further suggests that the keystore alias is "-mackey2".

Meanwhile...

The jarsigner command uses "mackey2", not "-mackey2".

You should try updating your <AndroidSigningKeyAlias/> to:

	<AndroidSigningKeyAlias>-mackey2</AndroidSigningKeyAlias>

If jarsigner doesn't like that (it might not like a "-"-prefixed alias), then recreate your keystore with an alias that doesn't start with a hyphen.
