Yes, it is. "agent" refers to the ssh-agent program. Martin, what does 'ssh-add -l' show? Is there only one ssh-agent process shown by 'ps -ef | fgrep [s]sh-agent'? Does its PID match $SSH_AGENT_PID? Another possible cause is that the file permissions are not strict enough on the private key, or on the ~/.ssh directory that contains it. Key files should be 600 and ~/.ssh should be 700.
