I think the problem is that you ssh client (windows or linux version) is not finding the key file. I had the same problem and solved this way:

• In my notebook, generated the key file (rafael.nicoletti@mycorporation) in ~/.ssh folder (where ~ is home folder. windows version is %HOME% env)

• I added a file name config in ~/.ssh with following content:

  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/rafael.nicoletti@corporation

In every location i want to access my git servers, i just copy those files in my %HOME% folder

You can also put the some things like this in config file:

IdentityFile /d/identity.key
IdentityFile /e/identity.key
IdentityFile /f/identity.key
IdentityFile /.../identity.key

So the config will look for keys in removable medias.
