SparkleShare with webfaction and Mac OS X

I've been trying to get SparkleShare, a git based dropbox clone, working with my webfaction account.

Using git on the webfaction server is straightforward, but SparkleShare doesn't work. Running SparkleShare from the command line it is clear that the problem is that even after copying the sparkleshare generated public ssh key (rsa) to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys (and appropriately changing the permissions), ssh access to the git repo on the webfaction server is still prompting for a password.

Make sure that your authorized_keys is chmod 644
chmod 644 $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys*
