I am going to be honest, I just finished dinner and a glass of wine before looking at this but what immediately jumps out at me is that it looks like you are trying to connect with an older RSA key rather than DSA.  RSA is deprecated in a lot of versions of OpenSSH.  This is just my off-the-cuff observation from a full and slightly tipsy standpoint.  I hope this is helpful to you.  

Thanks,

Nope, you've got it backwards.

DSA keys (ssh-dss) have been deprecated since OpenSSH 7.0 in favor of RSA (>=2048 bit length, preferably 4096) or Ed25519 (Curve25519 EdDSA, which is NOT and VERY DIFFERENT from, DSA).
