Why do you use sudo for this?

Could it be that if you don't use sudo some permissions are wrong?

I don't particularly understand your specific problem but when I've seen this before it's due to 
configuration on the server side.  Like the .ssh directory doesn't have the right permissions.  So 
I've found my clues in the sshd log.
