Either your local machine doesn't know about any ssh key, or the remote machine doesn't trust yours. Check if ~/.ssh/id_rsa or ~/.ssh/id_dsa exist. If they do, look at ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote machine and make sure that the contents of the file ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub or ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub on the local machine are somewhere in there.

but i use command>rsync -avz -e "ssh -i /root/rsync/mirror-rsync-key" root@www.domain.com:/home/someone /home/someone ____ /root/rsync/mirror-rsync-key it point to the private key of local machine? – friends Nov 10 '10 at 9:25
Is it asking you for the key passphrase or for root's password? If it's the latter, verify that /root/.ssh/authorized_keys contains the public key that corresponds to the mirror-rsync-key private key. – cdhowie Nov 10 '10 at 9:27
one strange thing, sever1 can ping server2, but server2 can't ping server1, may this casue the problem? – friends Nov 10 '10 at 9:34

That's not likely the issue at all, no. If it's asking you for a password it has managed to connect and chat with the other sshd. – cdhowie Nov 10 '10 at 9:40
