As far as I can tell, the only important thing to do other than ordinary plain vanilla ssh setup, is that at least on lion you need to

Thanks very much! It’s been driving me mad. The adding passphrases to the keychain fixed it for me.

Alan,
your comment helped me so much.
Been struggling all afternoon with ssh + svn.
That did it for me.

Thanks,
