How did you become the "dirvishuser" user?

If you did "su dirvishuser", ssh may still look for the key in your own
homedir.

man dirvish.conf

    rsh: command (S)
        Remote shell utility.

        This can be used to specify the location of ssh or rsh and/or to
        provide addition options for said utility such as  -p  port  for
        ssh to use an alternate port number.

        If not specified ssh will be used.

So add a line:

rsh: ssh -i /home/dirvishuser/.ssh/keyfile

to the dirvish config. But I expect that if you put dirvish-runall in
dirvishuser's crontab it will work as-is because then there is no
confusion about the homedir.
