How to specify identity with forwarded agent?




I've loaded a couple of keys into the ssh-agent on my workstation, then
done 'ssh -A hosta'. Now I want to use a specific key to go from hosta
to hostb, but when I add '-i idfile', hosta complains that it doesn't
exist. It's right of course, it is back on my WS.

I've tried with and without paths, and exactly what 'ssh-add -l' shows
me on hosta, but no joy. Can somebody offer a clue?

All systems OpenSSH 4.1p1, WS is Linux, hosta & hostb are AIX 5.3
