That sort of rings a bell. I know the tutorials I've seen for using keys auth, say to use a null password. The error you see above seems to indicate that it won't query for a password, then it fails. Did you create your keys with a null password? 
ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f identity -P '' -t dsa

This  ssh-keygen command creates a 1,024-bit (-b 1024) key pair called
identity  (-f  identity) using the DSA algorithm (-t dsa). The private
key  is created with a null-passphrase (-P ''), which is important for
automating the login process.
