Trouble Setting Up SSH Keys for Git in Mac OS X Lion

I'm following the instructions on Github for installing the SSH Keys, but after I enter the passphrase twice, I keep getting this message in the terminal, "open .../.ssh/id_rsa failed: No such file or directory."

Is this a permissions thing or something? I'm trying to do this from my company user account and not my admin account.

I did an ssh-add after step 3 to store the key locally, it is required before pushing anything to git. Solved it for Mac OSX 10.7 Lion.

I had the same problem, to resolve I just took the default suggestion for the .ssh folder and i changed my passphrase to a one word passphrase (no spaces). This worked for me, I didn;t have to mess with permissions or anything. Hope you get it sorted.
