It looks to me like your problem is here. the id_rsa file on you windows server is not being recognized as a valid RSA key. So perhaps there was an error when you copied the id_rsa file to the windows server. or perhaps the permissions are funny. on your windows server can you show us the file permission of the files in .ssh/? -- Gunnar Kramm San Francisco, California
