Unfortunately there's nothing useful in /var/log/messages

I am using public key authentication. When I do an scp manually I
don't even need to type in the password but with capistrano's get I am
still getting the same error.

    servers: ["snake-eyes"]
 ** scp download /home/cso/windowsxp-sp3-ie7-ff3-1.vdi -> /home/
admin/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/
*** download via scp failed on c...@snake-eyes: SCP did not finish
successfully (1) (SCP did not finish successfully (1))
download via scp failed on c...@snake-eyes: SCP did not finish
successfully (1) (SCP did not finish successfully (1))

Christian, what do you mean by "it's better to use a private key"? Can
you tell me how to do that? I am currently using a public key.
