It looks to me like your keys are out of sync.  You may need to 
update/regenerate them.

If you can sftp into the system, interactively, the only thing left is the 
part that makes it automatic.

Oh, another mistake I frequently make is trying to run a batch file when 
the file isn't in the directory I'm in... but that is probably not the 
case here.

Hope this helps,

Nancy
