I did indeed turn out to be the switch...
We purchased another of the same model of the netgear switch (though
curiously they had a different look, different dimensions, and different
port layouts) and it worked fine the first time, passing all tests.
I am still not sure why the switch would cause such strange behavior,
allowing partial communication in one direction and full in the other.
I guess if you have have really strange behavior that doesn't seem to be
rational, check the switch.

It seems like it may some problem with the switch. My colleague said
that they tried connecting the server/node with a crossover cable and
were able to pass all of the Oscar tests... He also said that he tried
another switch (100MB) and was also able to get the tests passed. This
seems to say it is the switch, which is very strange. Why you could SSH
one way, mount /home the NFS, but not be able to SSH the other way seems
very strange, but as long as we found the problem I am not going to
complain.
If it turns out that this was a fluke and the switch is not the problem,
I will be sure to update you again. Hopefully the root of the problem
has been solved though.
Thanks again for all of your help.
Sincerely,
Rob

Have you tried wiping the .ssh directory on the node? It may make
things worse, but it seems to be finding some files with contents it
isn't expecting there, judging by the messages from "ssh -vvv"
It will probably ask you for a password after that, but if it lets you
SSH at all, then we can work down from there and find the problem
files in the image.
