i am going to assume for the moment you have created new key files and 
loaded them to the
authorized_keys file.

so, this is going to sound bizarre, but try it...

lets talk client and server to identify the 2 hosts in your issue.

on each host, in the home directory,

$ mv .ssh .ssh_save

log out of each of cleint & server

log into client

try access the server via ssh cmd (ok if it fails), logout again.

login and on each of client & server,

$ mv .ssh_save .ssh    (make sure the perms stayed as 700)

now try your

$ ssh user at host date

again, any luck?
