[solved] cannot clone new directory - permission denied

So ive put my public key in my aur settings from aur.pub. After following the instructions on the wiki the whole contents of the file copy and pasted it in.
ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/aur
and also tried:
ssh-keygen -R aur.archlinux.org

then trying to checkout a new repo:
git clone ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/package_name.git

I get the error:
aur@aur.archlinux.org: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Have i missed something obvious?

Argh, i forgot a step!

Edit ~/.ssh/config and add the lines:
Host aur.archlinux.org
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/aur
  User aur

All working now!
