That is, I reorganized my ssh_config and it works if I start a *new* ssh-agent and ssh-add the appropriate keys. Unfortunately, my old ssh-agent doesn't know about this, which means I'm going to have to log out and log in again to have a new agent for all of my shells. This is a bother and so probably won't happen right away. Thanks much. The man page for ssh-add also tells me that I can do much more sophisticated key management: I can delete keys from the agent, add them with expiration, and even password protect (temporarily turn off) the agent.
