(Sorry if some of this is rehash)

Check the permissions on ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
Check /etc/pam.d/sshd
Make sure you check /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure for relevant errors.

try sshd -p 32 -d on your server
connect to it with ssh -p 32 -v servername
Look for hints in the debug output on the server and the client.
