Common problems include the files at both sides being world readable. SSH is designed to stop you thinking you are secure but actually credentials could be stolen or adjusted by anyone, e.g. if the authorized_keys can be written by anyone, then they could add their own public key and sign on as that account. If someone can read your private key, then they can access anything you can.
I'm probably over paranoid, but I change the directory ~/.ssh to be mode 700 and the files within to be mode 600. Obviously they must be owned by the correct user.
This might be a quick fix, but it might be totally wrong. Can you show use the output from an ssh -v user@server attempt?
Kind regards,
Robin
