Some things that would us you diagnose the problem:

* the exact command used to generate the key
* an example ssh commandline that works
* an example scp commandline that does not work
* the *exact* errors that you see
* the output of ssh and/or scp with the -v option (or maybe even -vv or
-vvv, depending on whether the first is at all enlightening)
