I'm not an authority on these matters, but when I had a problem with
exactly the same symptoms using SSH ( !=OPENSSH ) it was caused by a
mismatch in versions between the client software and the servers. I
had updated the clients, but couldn't do the servers because there was
a problem with the source code that prevented those packages from
compiling. When that got fixed and I replaced the servers, all was
well.
Have you put a sniffer on the connection to see what's actually passing
between the client and server machines?
Offered FWIW.
