sftp Unspecified GSS failure Minor code may provide more information No credentials cache found

Hi

I have managed on numerous machine to set up sftp not too require a password - i finally have one that does not work and Im at a loss - looked around checked permissions etc

The 2 machines Ill call then source and target I need to sftp from source to target (previously the target has always been the same with different users)

on source entered

Code:
ssh-keygen -t dsa

(used empty passphrase)

copied .ssh/id_dsa.pub to target as the user i want to use to log in as

.ssh/authorized_keys2 and .ssh/authorized_keys


on source logged in manually to save as known host

now when i try from the source

Code:
sftp -v -oPort=222  user@target

I get


Code:
