Okay, so your public key is locked away in encryption, if you're not
already logged into the system.

You can work around this by accessing your un-mounted (ie,
not-encrypted) home directory, and putting your public key there.

 $ /sbin/ecryptfs.umount_private && cd && /sbin/ecryptfs.mount_private
 $ mkdir .ssh
 $ echo $PUBKEY > .ssh/authorized_keys
