When I have that kind of trouble, it often means I've forgotten
something on the server side...  either I've forgotten to put the
public key in its database, or forgotten to put the key id in the
read-permissions file...

Since you use usher, I assume you log each underlying server in a
separate file?  Have a look in it, you might find the answer there
(you often get a more detailed answer on the server side)
