Since nobody else has taken a shot at this yet, here's my guess:

One end or the other has a bad entry in .ssh/known_hosts

The other possibility would be a typo in the config file.

I'm guessing no one answered because it's a standard message out of the
debug indicating that ssh didn't recognize the type of key DSA/RSA
supplied in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, etc. Maybe ----BEGIN represents the
beginning of the hashed private key?

You should cat id_rsa.pub instead of id_rsa.
