As you can probably guess, this is because the USB key is formatted as vfat
Why not format the USB stick for something like ext2?
Or perhaps symlink to the key?
I wouldn't expect symlinks to help; ssh goes to *some* efforts to get to the underlying file. I would be rather more inclined to format with ext2/ext3, which, while not portable to Windows, is pretty fine on Linux. (And probably more trustworthy. I'm never quite sure what gets committed to disk on VFAT...) -- When confronted by a difficult problem, solve it by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"
