Try running "sshd -d -d".  It will usually tell you *why* the client's
attempt to use hostbased doesn't work - like "wrong permissions for the
target user's home directory" or so.

(I have asked for better diagnostic messages on the client side before,
but Markus seems to think it's a security problem to tell the client why
some sort of authentication isn't permitted, and thus you need to run the
server in debug mode)
