OK, I am no expert, and am having trouble myself. However I hit this one yesterday
and so I have a suggestion of what the cause might be.
It looks like it is failing to validate your public key and is falling back to your
login password on that machine (ie not the passphrase on your key)
The server config file probably has some lines in it like
AllowedAuthentications publickey,password
RequiredAuthentications publickey
What do they say?
