This indicates to me incompadible SSH versions between the
client and server. I've only had this message when this was
the case(and haven't seen it in over 2 years). telnet to the
host on port 22 and see what version of SSH it's using and
run ssh -V on the client and compare..

you can also try forcing a different protocol, e.g. ssh -1 will
force protocol 1, ssh -2 will force protocol 2
