Once you've used ssh-keygen to make a keypair, you should copy  
id_dsa.pub (or id_rsa.pub) to authorized_keys, not move it.  And you  
need to push the new version of authorized keys to the machine you  
are SSH'ing into, as well as having the id_whatever private key  
available on the machine you are SSH'ing from....
