You shouldn't have to specify IdentityFile in the config, since $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa is the default (and the path /home/.ssh you have above probably doesn't exist, unless your home directory is really /home/.) Also, why don't you have a id_rsa.pub file? When you created the public key you should have created a pair of keys, the public id_rsa.pub (which you added to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote host, yes?) and the private id_rsa.
