     AuthorizedKeysFile
             Specifies the file that contains the public keys that can be used
             for user authentication.  AuthorizedKeysFile may contain tokens
             of the form %T which are substituted during connection setup.
             The following tokens are defined: %% is replaced by a literal
             '%', %h is replaced by the home directory of the user being
             authenticated, and %u is replaced by the username of that user.
             After expansion, AuthorizedKeysFile is taken to be an absolute
             path or one relative to the user's home directory.  The default
             is ``.ssh/authorized_keys''.

Maybe you can try to use "%h/.ssh/authorized_keys" or, if it applies,
"/usr/home/%u/.ssh/authorized_keys" to check if this is a path problem?
