+What steps will reproduce the problem?
+Add an encrypted rsync remote by it's 'Host' value in ~/.ssh/config.
+eg.:
+cat ~/.ssh/config | grep Host
+    Host serverNick
+git annex initremote rsyncRemote type=rsync rsyncurl=serverNick:/home/USER/Music encryption=USER@gmail.com
+git annex copy some\ artist --to serverNick
+
+
+What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
+I'd expect it to remember the key password like a normal ssh remote.  Instead I get asked for the key password 3 times for each file in the folder.
+
+What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+3.20130216.  Arch x64 (up to date as of 2013-03-07)
