Should not this go into your ~/.bash_profile?

According to the docs for keychain, it should look something more like the following:
eval `keychain --eval --agents ssh id_dsa`
The 'eval' at the start is probably more important than you think... I noted myself that the following are quite different in a bash script I was working on:
"$@"
eval "$@"
(only the latter works, the former ended up not doing anything in a #!/bin/bash script)
https://github.com/funtoo/keychain and http://www.funtoo.org/en/security/keychain/intro/ for more information regarding keychain. You might also like adding || exit 1 or similar to the 'eval' call, for debugging, as shown in the docs.
