I guess it still wants a > private one instead. I have also observed this behaviour. My main SSH key is an RSA key and it works fine. So problem 1 is the error message: it says DSA (hard-coded) but it can mean RSA/DSA. The ,,not a valid DSA key'' refers to a local private SSH key that does not get accepted by the server (no matter if the key locally is RSA or DSA). What is the exact SSH configuration in the sessions file? Do you use detction of default key names in the config?
