Hi Lee, thanks for the response. I'm not sure I agree that it's "defective" per se, as the prompt (repeated or not) is expected when not using a caching mechanism. The unexpected occurrence is the duplicate prompt in rapid succession (with no opportunity to provide a passphrase) prior to the deploy tasks.
Using ssh-agent to cache the passphrase works just fine and seems to alleviate the problem, however, I'm still unclear as to why, without it, I'm unable to simply provide the passphrase prior to each task - an inconvenient method, but should work never-the-less. Out of respect for your opinion, I've gone ahead and cleared/ regenerated all public and private DSA identities. Once reestablished, all key-based communication between servers works as expected, but the problem discussed here persists. Thanks again for you input. I'll simply use ssh-agent and move forward for now.
