Compare the security settings on the home directory between the server where private/public key works with the one where it does not work. If the public write and execute flags are turned on for the home directory then private/public key sign on won't work.

the public/private keys are on
Code:
nikira_data01

directory in both servers, but on server A:

Code:
drwxrwxrwx   8 nikira   sys       122368 Feb 10 13:21 nikira_data01

and on server B:

Code:
drwxr-xr-x   6 nikira   sys          512 Aug 28  2012 nikira_data01

so they are not the same in permission wise

Yes. Turn off write for group and world for server A and test again.

Is nikira_data01 the home directory of your user? What are the permissions of the .ssh directory? Perhaps they are the issue.
