Trouble with key based authentication

Agreed, but neither sides .ssh files have changed.  I am becoming
tempted to just regenerate the keys on both sides and copy the public
key over and be done with it.  But on that note, last time I did this I
did both RSA and DSA, but I can not remember my reasoning for not just
doing RSA.  Any one have any thoughts?

It looks very much like the public key (id_rsa.pub|id_dsa.pub) is not in
the ~remoteuser/.ssh/authorized_keys file. Since it used to work,
something must have changed somewhere. Have a look at the .pub file(s)
and then examine the remote's authorized_keys file and compare. Your -v
output looks like everything is fine except that it doesn't like the
key.
