This is normal...if you didn't keep the contents of your /etc/ssh directory around, then, upon installation, OpenSSH recreated all its keys. On the client machine(s), go into the .ssh directories for any users which are/were doing these automated processes. Edit their .known_hosts files, and remove the entries for the server in question. Then, as those users, manually connect to the server, anew, and accept the new key. Your scripts should start working again.
