It's cool...no problems with it.
Well, check locally first (though if it's working for other remote
machines I doubt anything is wrong). It is possible that root has
more that one key (id_dsa and maybe another?) and the other key is
getting you into the other machines. Unlikely...

Nope...but this comment got me to look there. =-)
sshd[15622]: Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for
directory /root/.ssh
I'd check:
/root
No public or group write perms on /root, /root/.ssh or the
authorized_keys file.
Ding ding ding...we have a winner.
The permissions were fine, but the ownership was messed up. I
restored /root/.ssh to root:root and it was fine.
I guess it helps to look in the right log file.
Thanks for the kick in the head. Staring at a problem too long and
hard can make you completely miss the obvious.
