[CentOS] amanda backup ssh key

hello list,

 I am attempting to ssh via a user account setup for amanda backups
from the backup server to the test backup client. AFAIK everything is
setup correctly yet when I ssh as the user to the client I have to
type the password. the public key is in the authorized_keys file of
the client and permissions all seem correct.

 Here is a verbose output of the ssh session
