Hmm, there aren't too many ways this could happen. id_rsa could be corrupt, I guess, but that's not very likely. You could try 'strace ssh ...' to get a detailed log of what's going on, looking specifically for any error messages related to id_rsa. Perhaps you have a strange build of ssh that doesn't have RSA support? You could try a different key type. Although I think they all support RSA nowadays.
