In addition to cluther's comments, I found that ssh through Zenoss only works if you put BOTH the private key AND the public key for a device into /home/zenoss/.ssh .
I wanted the possibility of several id_dsa files for different systems or groups of systems so, for example, I have dsa_id_bino as the private key file in zenoss's .ssh directory and set up zProperties to reflect this. Without the matching public key zencommands failed and the log showed it was looking for /home/zenoss/.ssh/dsa_id_bino.pub. When I copied that in from my machine bino, everything works. You shouldn't need the public key file there though - if you simply test with ssh then it works perfectly well without the public key in .ssh.
