The answer is in the debug output you provided.  Notice that authorized_keys has 
group write access.  Do a chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.  This should solve 
your problem.  

BTW, I would recommend going to a version 2 protocol private/public 
authentication.  For that, you would want to use ssh-keygen -t rsa|dsa to 
generate one of them.  The publec side then goes in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2.

Hope this helps.
