RTFM: ssh-add -l or ssh-add -L to see what your ssh-agent knows.

Now go to another shell window, make sure the ssh-agent env vars are
set, and go ssh somewhere. If it asks you for a passphrase, you've
managed to screw up somehow. Use the verbose/debug flags to find out
what it's doing. And make sure you've the ssh-agent env vars set
correctly.
