From the troubleshooting guide:

Permission denied (publickey)

This is usually caused when ssh cannot find your keys. Make sure your key is in the default location, ~/.ssh. If you run ssh-keygen again and just press enter at all 3 prompts it will be placed here automatically. Then you can add the contents of id_rsa.pub to my github keys. If id_rsa.pub doesn’t work try id_dsa.pub. You might need to generate a new dsa key with ssh-keygen -t dsa if you just have an rsa key.

If you are still having problems and none of the above worked, you may have a blacklisted key from a debian open-ssh bug. you should update open-ssh and re-generate your keys.

So, just to check - are your keys available under ~/.ssh/ as id_rsa and id_rsa.pub or otherwise, are you specifying their use?
