This is a known problem.  If you update to the very latest code in the
CVS repository, that should get rid of the "Can't decode result"
error.  However, "sfskey login" still won't work to an old server.  If
you have the key, though (for instance copy the private key file over
from your ~/.sfs directory) you will be able to access old servers.
In the next few days I hope to have something that makes "sfskey
login" work from new clients to old 0.7.2 servers.
