Well, there's the usual offender of Solaris sh
(fails with syntax error at line 36: `DEFAULT_PUB_ID_FILE=$', so not too
bad, it
also has a broken ${FOO:+BAR} syntax, printing BAR instead of $BAR)

The first thing I notice of your script is the missing \n at the end of
the usage
(why are you using printf instead of echo?).

Also, I'm seeing a ls stderr message of No such file or directory for
~/.ssh/id*.pub
Finally, the error (usage parameters) given if you don't have an agent
running is not helpful.
