I am now able to ssh from remote to local and local to remote without

root (sudo su), I get prompted for a password again.
When you become root, ssh will try to read keys from the home directory
proper for a new uid, regardless of the $HOME setting. The same happens
when you specify "sudo rsync" remotely. If you setup the keys properly
for root and allow it to login using ssh (eg. PermitRootLogin
without-password), it should work fine.
