I'm pretty baffled as well.

I asked this same question a week ago, and have yet to receive
a response or anything helpful, though I did receive an email
asking for the solution should I ever run across it!

I was using openssh 2.5.2 and a root .shosts file, with the
known_hosts in root's .ssh/ directory to achieve root logins
from certain hosts to others. Upon upgrading to the 2.9 line,
it was quite broken. I tried all the same options that you have
in your config files - and I have not had any luck.

If you need it working yesterday, I suggest using ssh-keygen to
generate the 'identity', 'id_rsa', 'id_dsa' files, copy these
into the authorized_keys and authorized_keys2 (correct types to
each!) on the hosts you need them (under root's .ssh/ dir). And
that should work.
