Well my first thought is that you should disable shh to root... It's a security 
hole.

On your question:

Did you copy the public key for the machine you ssh from to the authorized keys 
file? Are the machines you use in each other's known hosts file? Has the UID on 
the new machine changed to not match the original?

And can you be a little more specific than "I get errors" and show us exactly 
what errors?
