I'm very surprised at this - it looks like you're using the default /etc/ttys?  
With ttyv8 turned off?  And yet you still get a graphical login prompt when 
you boot?

This setup doesn't work for me (tried it exactly as you have, permissions and 
everything, but without ssh-agent).  Thanks for trying to help, though.
