You have a public/private key pair on system A.  You will be using
that pair to log in to system B.  B needs to have the key in its
authorized_keys file.  It sounds like you actually did that on A.

If I'm misunderstanding, then maybe you can post a bit more detail 
to make things clear.  But more likely, you'll get the answer just 
by running ssh with more verbosity (-v options).

Good luck.
