SSH Backup is driving me crazy!

I am trying to switch my backup strategy to SSH (and SFTP) and no matter what I do, I can't get the backup Module to successfully backup to the server I set up. I have done all the copying of the keys and from the cli of the FreePBX box.

I can ssh to my backup server logged in as root and I am not prompted for a password.

I can ssh to the backup server with a user name (sftpd@x.x.x.x) and am not prompted for a password.

I am specifying the key that I used to set up the SSH keys, but here is what I get:

Saving Backup 2...done!

The only thing I have found is that if I su to Asterisk on the FreePBX box, and then try to ssh to the backup server, I am prompted for a Password - I read in one of the other posts that the backup runs as Asterisk.

It doesn't seem to matter what User Name I use - I assumed that the user name would be used to form the command ssh username@backupserver, but even if I change the name, the error message is the same.

Here are all my blanks:

hostname: x.x.x.x
Port: 22
User Name: sftpd, asterisk, root, bob - doesn't matter
Key: /home/asterisk/.ssh/id_rsa (and id_rsa.pub for a try)
Path: ~/backups/BDC-CoLo

Does anyone have this working? If so, would you share what worked for you?
