rdist problem

We have been happily using rdist with ssh to send files
to Linux machines. One of those machines has just had
a new install of Fermi Linux 5.2.1 and we can no longer
get rdist to work from fnalu. Ssh works just fine,
but when we try to use rdist, we see the following:

<fsgi02> /usr/local/bin/rdist -P/usr/local/bin/ssh1.old -f dist.cheung
e831code@cheung.fnal.gov: updating host cheung.fnal.gov
e831code@cheung.fnal.gov: LOCAL ERROR: Unexpected input from server: "Host key n
". found from the list of known hosts.
e831code@cheung.fnal.gov: updating of e831code@cheung.fnal.gov finished

<fsgi02> /usr/local/bin/rdist -P/usr/local/bin/ssh -f dist.cheung
e831code@cheung.fnal.gov: updating host cheung.fnal.gov
e831code@cheung.fnal.gov: LOCAL ERROR: Unexpected input from server: "Host key n
". found from the list of known hosts.
e831code@cheung.fnal.gov: updating of e831code@cheung.fnal.gov finished

Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?
This situation has become urgent. We have tried everything we
can think of and nothing has helped.
