If you haven't enabled debugging for sshd, I'd recommend trying that.  It
can provide info about what the server is doing which can reveal some
helpful details.  Presumably you've been able to get communication to
work fine using password authentication?

Since you're currently dealing with password-less authentication, I don't
think that should be a problem.
