You'll have a problem if you have very old "identity" files laying in .ssh
because in the Old Days[tm] the private key was protected with IDEA on
disk... 

You'll have to recreate the private/public RSA keys with ssh-keygen and copy
the "identity.pub" content into your remote "authorized_keys" files.

Ollivier, who got bitten by this :)
