~ refers to the home directory (there is no automatic fallback to /root). So they would need to be in /var/tmp/root. You could add an init script which copies the keys there at boot. Or you could edit /etc/passwd to put root's home directory somewhere else. I'm sure that people have already tried similar stuff on the older kindles.

sftp doesn't work because it's not installed and the hack to put it in /usr/libexec won't work because there's no /usr/libexec directory on the K4.
About sftp I would just check what mrbob said.
