Resolution
You should be able to fix this error by loading your keys into your SSH agent with ssh-add:
# start the ssh-agent in the background
$ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
> Agent pid 59566
$ ssh-add
> Enter passphrase for /home/<em>you</em>/.ssh/id_rsa: <em>[tippy tap]</em>
> Identity added: /home/<em>you</em>/.ssh/id_rsa (/home/<em>you</em>/.ssh/id_rsa)
If your key does not have the default filename (/.ssh/id_rsa), you'll have to pass that path to ssh-add:
# start the ssh-agent in the background
$ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
> Agent pid 59566
$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/my_other_key
> Enter passphrase for /home/<em>you</em>/.ssh/my_other_key: <em>[tappity tap tap]</em>
> Identity added: /home/<em>you</em>/.ssh/my_other_key (/home/<em>you</em>/.ssh/my_other_key)
