I am trying to install a mercurial-server on my pogo v2. I installed mercurial-server from AUR (along with the python and mercurial dependenies. I have sshd running on the box. I have been trying to follow this tutorial http://dev.lshift.net/paul/mercurial-server/docbook.html. I think my problem may be in the way the SSH keys are being handled. I can log in to the server without a password, using my ssh public key. When I do
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'ssh-add -L')
however I see:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'The agent has no identities')
That just doesn't seem right, what should the output be? I can't figure out from the man pages and some searching what should be happening so I can't diagnose where the problem lies any further than this.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Are you able to SCP without password?

Yes, I can scp and ssh to the box without a password. Looking over that tutorial, it isn't much different from the tutorial I followed in setting things up. Main differences is the tutorial I used had ssh-copy-id to get the local public key onto the remote machine. That tutorial can be found here: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/11/3-steps-to-perform-ssh-login-without-password-using-ssh-keygen-ssh-copy-id/.
Bottom line - when I try to do anything with mercurial it asks for the hg user's password. I thought this was not supposed to happen since the keys for passwordless entry were set up. In mercurial server the hg user is created by the server and doesn't have a password, home directory, etc. I am still assuming there is something wrong with the way I have set up ssh access but am a bit mystified.

A little more duck-duck-go-ing ...
It seems ssh-agent wasn't running on the plug. I started it with
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'exec ssh-agent $SHELL')
At that point I was able to add the key from my plug but not the key from the authorized-keys file. How do I get that to show up in the output of
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'ssh-add -L')
