The ~/.ssh directory should be 700. Remember, sshd runs as root, which means the permissions shouldn't really matter (sans the execute bit, which as I said is needed for directories). You don't want 750 unless you ***really*** intend for members of the same group to have read access to your ~/.ssh/ directory.
