Mark, Co:Z SFTP uses IBM Ported Tools OpenSSH for its ssh connection. The problem that you are seeing is because Ported Tools ssh looks up the home directory via UID number. (in Co:Z SFTP, we are more careful in how we look up the home directory).
Keys, specifically the default "~/.ssh/id_rsa" key file is looked up by Ported Tools ssh, and it gets confused if you share UID numbers. (IMO, sharing UID numbers is not best practice). two suggestions: 1) use the -oIdentityFile= ssh option to point to a specify key. Since the z/OS Unix shell knows $HOME as the right directory, you could do this: ssh_opts="$ssh_opts -oIdentityFile=~/.ssh/id_rsa" 2) even better, put your RSA key in a RACF key ring: ssh_opts="$ssh_opts -k *:MYLABEL" We recently did a two-part webinar on using keys with IBM Ported Tools OpenSSH, see: http://dovetail.com/webinars.html for slides and recordings.
