Here is your problem - ssh has failed to find your public rsa key on the 
server (actually, although I am not sure, it may have failed to find your 
local private key to even try and contact the server) and is falling back to 
password authentication (ie is your password in the /etc/password file of the 
server).  So however much ssh-agent is setup with your password, its never 
going to be called into action
