ok, now I feel kinda stupid....  um it was breaking because of the 
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- at the beginning of ~/.ssh/id_rsa... 
then i thought, wait I am suppose to send my public key, not the private 
one.

it works right if you use ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

sorry Mark, didn't mean to waste your time looking at this...
