I can't tell from this.  Yours and my output diverge after the line in
your file reading:


>debug1: trying public key file /home/dcorbin/.ssh/authorized_keys


Mine goes on with:

debug3: secure_filename: checking '/users/lhall/.ssh'
debug3: secure_filename: checking '/users/lhall'
debug3: secure_filename: terminating check at '/users/lhall'

Given that yours is "waiting", my WAG is that your home is not local.
Things may also be complicated by the fact that your user is a domain 
user.  That's pretty tenuous but I don't have access to a domain 
environment at the moment so I can't try it for myself.  You might 
want to try logging in as a local user though.  But if you're home
directory is a UNC share that requires password authentication, that's
going to be your real problem.  Otherwise, you must have some permissions
problem.  Your best bet is to grab the source and track where the "waiting"
message is that you get.  That should help provide some context.
