what is your ssh_config Protocol setting?
because i am sure even two OpenSSH 2 machines can be made to talk
SSH1/RSA.

from http://www.openssh.com/features.html:

<snip>
As of OpenSSH 2.0, as well as supporting protocol versions 1.3 and
1.5, OpenSSH also has support the SSH protocol version 2.0. This
protocol avoids using the RSA algorithm -- since at the time protocol
2.0 was invented the RSA patent was still in effect -- and uses the
freely useable DSA algorithm instead.

anyway, about RSAREF (i am not sure i know exactly what RSAREF is as
opposed to RSA), i tried the whole thing with a new keypair that i
created using just ssh-keygen on the OpenSSH system... didn't work
either.

can you find out somehow which protocol you are using? because i think
the connection ambriel->uriel will be SSH ver. 1.5, not 2.0...
