Are you *sure* you ran the config scripts w/the same options? I had a similar situation and the problem was configuring one using md5 passwords and not doing this on the other (assume md5's on all machines). There should be a config.cache or some other report around documenting your config choices (pretty sure, not at my machine now). Maybe diff or otherwise compare these files. If everything is the same here, I'm not sure what it could be, but check that your keys are in the right places, created, and named correctly for the protocol you're using to connect (e.g.: using ssh1 or 2).
