OK, So port 22 is open. Is this on the server where sshd is running or is this on the client where you are invoking /usr/bin/ssh ??
If on the server, then take a look at the contents of the server's /var/log/secure /var/log/iptables (if you have configured iptables to log there) /var/log/messages
and search for any messages pertaining to ssh or port 22 ...etc
