Why am I getting a "Permission Denied" when trying to cap deploy?

Question

Im trying to deploy my rails 4 app with capistrano using a remote git repository on my server. My git repo is on the same server I am deploying my app to. When ever I try a cap deploy I get this error

my/local/rails/app/directory$ cap deploy

When ever I enter my password in it says permission denied and I'm sure the password is correct. Here is my deploy.rb

require 'bundler/capistrano'
require 'rvm/capistrano'

set :user, 'user'
set :domain, 'myserver.com'
set :application, "blog"
set :repository,  "ssh://[email protected]/var/repos/test.git"

set :branch, 'master'
set :scm_verbose, true
set :use_sudo, false

set :rails_env, :production

set :rvm_type, :system
set :rvm_ruby_string, 'ruby-2.0.0-p247'
# set :scm, :git # You can set :scm explicitly or Capistrano will make an intelligent guess based on known version control directory names
# Or: `accurev`, `bzr`, `cvs`, `darcs`, `git`, `mercurial`, `perforce`, `subversion` or `none`

role :web, domain                         # Your HTTP server, Apache/etc
role :app, domain                         # This may be the same as your `Web` server
role :db,  domain, :primary => true # This is where Rails migrations will run

default_run_options[:pty] = true
ssh_options[:forward_agent] = true
after "deploy", "deploy:migrate", "deploy:restart"
after "deploy:update", "deploy:restart"

# if you want to clean up old releases on each deploy uncomment this:
# after "deploy:restart", "deploy:cleanup"

# if you're still using the script/reaper helper you will need
# these http://github.com/rails/irs_process_scripts

# If you are using Passenger mod_rails uncomment this:
# namespace :deploy do
#   task :start do ; end
#   task :stop do ; end
#   task :restart, :roles => :app, :except => { :no_release => true } do
#     run "#{try_sudo} touch #{File.join(current_path,'tmp','restart.txt')}"
#   end
# end

namespace :deploy do
    desc "cause Passenger to restart"
    task :restart do
        run "touch #{current_path}/tmp/restart.txt"
    end
end

I am able to ssh into my server from the command line with a ssh key, so thats working fine. Anyone know what the problem is? Thanks.

This has worked for me in the past. Hope it works for you:

ssh-add /.ssh/id_rsa
