When you are doing the SSH command from the command line, it is pulling your RSA key.  When you sudo the command, it is pulling the "root" user's RSA  key.  Try issuing a "sudo -i" command to become root.  Set your private keys up again as root.  Then exit root user mode.  Finally try your "sudo ssh..." command again and see if it works.
