The keys are probably not readable by SYSTEM.  Use ssh-user-config as
the affected user.  The script sets the permissions correctly.

When I do this, I'm running under my own account and change owner
of the files beforehand:

 chown MyAccount /var/empty /etc/ssh*

But that will mostly not help when debugging permission problems with key
files.  And of course you must remember to revert ownership afterwards.
