BINGO!!!

OMG! I've been trying to troubleshoot this problem for nearly **7**
years, and it now get solved just like that!

I launch keychain in my ~/.profile, which starts its own 'ssh-agent'.
Guess I'll remove it and start it manually only from machine A from
now on.

Thanks again Peter, I can't express how appreciate I am enough!
