  1) ~/.ssh is a directory, so it needs execute permissions.  0700

  2) Is sshd configured to allow "RSAAuthentication"?  Only?

  3) Try regular ssh-ing to that account with "ssh -v -v"...you won't
     get a prompt due to scponly, of course, but you can see the
     authentication conversation happen (with errors, if any).

Buttery! me; I'll hopefully have my computer working normally again
www.io.c! soon, but until then...gotta love catastrophic drive failure.
om/~john! Mmm, rdiff-backup to the rescue!
