The permission problems on NT with respect to ssh files have been
discussed two weeks ago already.  Basically the problem is that
SYSTEM is not root and there's absolutely nothing like a root
user available on NT.  Not even SYSTEM may just open a file which
hasn't implicitely or explicitely read permission to SYSTEM.  That's
not SSH's fault.
