I had a syntax error in my sshd_config that was causing the "Access denied". 
I resolved that, and started having other problems; explicitly:
Apr  7 11:38:19 dabbling sshd[3515]: error: buffer_get_ret: trying to get
more bytes 4 than in buffer 0
Apr  7 11:38:19 dabbling sshd[3515]: fatal: buffer_get_int: buffer error

Web search led me to believe this was a problem with .ssh/authorized_keys
for that user.  I deleted the authorized_keys, and viola, I could log in!  I
rebuilt my authorized_keys file a few different ways, but the problem
persisted; if authorized_keys exists, the buffer error occurs when I attempt
login.  This is annoying because I want to make ssh connections using a
backup script; I want to use my efw as a central backup machine.
