Are you sure? Your client machine needs permissions of not greater than
0755 on .ssh, and not more than 0600 on .ssh/id_dsa (or any other private
key you're trying to use). On the server, permissons must not be greater
than 0755 on .ssh (but prefer 0700) and not greater than 0644 on
.ssh/authorized_keys2.
Your private key should *never* be distributed to the server. It's not
required there, and presents additional security problems, especially if
you don't encrypt your private keys. (If you don't encrypt them, you
don't need ssh-agent and ssh-add, either. I recommend encrypting your
private keys.)
