I think the problem is here: too strict permissions in ~/.ssh preventing ssh to update known_hosts list, needed to continue connection. it should be 700 for the .ssh directory and 600 for the file known_hosts. What is the output of: ls -l .ssh -d ? And ls -l .ssh ? Is 192.168.10.1 in your known_hosts? With the right RSA key?
