Rails - Mar 2006 - Capistrano: can''t get remote connection to work

I can''t get rake remote:exec ACTION=setup to complete successfully. I 
suspect there is a problem in authentication.

The problem however isn''t RSA authentication, see earlier message:

  subj: Capistrano: remote setup fails, using RSA authentication

I renamed my .ssh dir on the remote server and am now connecting via 
ssh-password authentication. I can connect via ssh w/o problem, just 
not through capistrano.

The problem also isn''t the setup task -- I created the simplest task 
I could imagine:

task :ls, :roles => [:app] do
   run <<-CMD
     ls #{deploy_to}
   CMD
end

I still get a similar error:

rake remote:exec ACTION=ls
