[Solved] pacman can't find id_rsa

I've noticed this several days ago, at first it would only happen once every 3 or 4 usages of pacman, now it's happening every time, sometimes, two or three times in the same pacman after a package.

The output from a pacman that does it, looks like this:

~ % pacman -Syyu akregator

 * Warning: can't find id_rsa; skipping

However, I definitely have one, in the right folder, with the right permissions:

~ % ls -al ~/.ssh
total 16
drwx------  2 brian brian 4096 Feb  9 15:53 .
drwx------ 22 brian brian 4096 Feb 10 09:46 ..
-rw-------  1 brian brian 1675 Feb  9 15:53 id_rsa
-rw-r--r--  1 brian brian  408 Feb  9 15:53 id_rsa.pub

And it's currently loaded in keychain, but just to be absolutely sure my ssh key was loaded; I ran the following command before I ran the pacman -Syyu akgregator above:

~ % eval `keychain --eval id_rsa`

 * keychain 2.8.2 ~ http://www.funtoo.org
 * Found existing ssh-agent: 20872
 * Known ssh key: /home/brian/.ssh/id_rsa

Any ideas on where pacman is looking for id_rsa that it can't find it?

Log file for pacman doesn't seem to be any help:

Re: [Solved] pacman can't find id_rsa

Never mind, just in case anyone else finds this thread and is also suffering from insufficient number of thought processes available...I was missing the id_rsa in root, and pacman happens to run as root.
