The debug trace shows that the client is offering the key to the server;
beyond that, there's nothing more to learn here.  You need info from the
server:

1) Check permissions on the server: OpenSSH requires that ~, ~/.ssh, and
   ~/.ssh/authorized_keys be writable only by root or the target
   account.

2) Check syslog for messages from sshd.

3) If you can, run the server in debug mode (e.g. /usr/sbin/sshd
-dep221), connect to it (ssh -vp221), and see what the server says.
