I could be wrong with this, but, while playing with Tomboy note syncing over ssh, one uses FUSE+sshfs, and for them to work, you need to have your key in a running instance of ssh-agent (any ssh agent will do i think). So, for it to work, ssh-agent has to be running for me @ login. This "might" be your issue. Then again I could be way off.

And/or the setuid id's ${HOME}/.ssh/id_dsa on the local side.
