Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Re: but that isn't what you posted
If I put the private key in root's .ssh directory, the ssh to github.com works. That's not the issue.

When using forwarding the actual user should be immaterial. The problem is that the Ubuntu server is refusing to turn on forwarding when connecting as root.

Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
New never heard of /etc/init/autoforward.conf
Service Setup (Ubuntu)

Under current Ubuntu (10.04) you can create an Upstart job to run the setup script:

$ cat /etc/init/autoforward.conf
# autoforward - automatic SSH forwarding

description "automatic SSH forwarding"

start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]

respawn

exec /usr/local/bin/setup-ssh-forwards
It should not be executable. You can start it as follows:

$ sudo initctl start autoforward
autoforward start/running, process 11590
