This looks like your problem: the server does not have the host key for
the client in any of its known_hosts files under the name
"basement-gentoo.krautclan.com".  If you want to use this for more than
one user you probably want to put it in the system-wide ssh_known_hosts
file.

While you're testing you might want to add -o
PreferredAuthentications=hostbased to your ssh command line.  That will
stop it trying to use the other auth methods and make it easier to read
the debug output.
