Did you copy ~/.ssh/known_hosts to /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts on every
node ? You need that if you want every node to be able to ssh to every
other node without a password...

I think you made a mistake here. You should use :

RhostsRSAAuthentication yes

if what you really want to do is allow passwordless login based on
*host-key* RSA authentication. RSAAuthentication is for protocol 1 and
for *user-key* RSA authentication.

If it doesn't work, maybe the output of an "ssh -v nodeX" would be
useful...
