Yet another possibility is that your SSH daemon isn't configured to accept publickey as a valid authorization mean.

Try to do ssh -v localhost and check if there's something similar to the 
following:

debug1: Authentications that can continue: 
publickey,password,keyboard-interactive
debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: Trying private key: /home/xxx/.ssh/identity
debug1: Trying private key: /home/xxx/.ssh/id_rsa
debug1: Offering public key: /home/xxx/.ssh/id_dsa
debug1: Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-dss blen 435
debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA
debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey).
