Also, there's a stack of reasons that DSA is preferred to RSA for SSH keys these days. When you generate your private keys, use "ssh-keygen -t dsa", not rsa.
RSA is the default if no cypher type is declared on the command line.
I've taken your helpful advise and replaced the RSA key with a DSA key; put a passphrase on the key and then did a SSH-ADD which automatically recognised the new key and added it.
