Annoying problem with ssh keys

Everytime I need to use ssh I get a dialog to enter the passphrase for 
the key.  It doesn't work.  If I cancel it three times I get a prompt on 
the command line and the same passphrase works.  Of course it isn't 
cached anywhere, so the next time I need to use it I have to go through 
the same procedure again.  

How do I get ssh to behave? 

Thanks.
