OK, time to understand what you're doing.  -t rsa creates an ssh2 rsa key.
 This is not standard.  Try this: ssh-keygen
let it save that to identity and identity.pub.  The identity.pub is copied
to the other system's authorized_keys file.  This command will give you an
ssh1 compatible authentication key.

For ssh2, try:
ssh-keygen -t dsa
let it save that to id_dsa and id_dsa.pub.  then id_dsa.pub is copied to
the other system to authorized_keys2 (not authorized_keys).  You can
substitute id_rsa.pub into authorized_keys2 if you want, but not all
systems will recognize this (and it's not as good as dsa).

Ciao,
