Bob suggested checking the messages from the server sshd. You (Paul) I think may have misread that and run debug on the client ssh instead. The server will record why it's rejected a particular type of authentication or a particular session, but the client won't be told the reason. (However, it is usually worth tracing the ssh client just to make sure that it itself is not skipping key negotiation.)
