How did you transfer the key to remote machine? I also use dsa key and
when running ssh with -vv get the same "unknown key type '-----BEGIN'"
errors but the key does work.

Try issuing next command to transfer the key to remote host:

cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"

And then test the ssh connection again.
