"Why would you need to be root to place files in ~ (e.g. via scp)?

For the confused there is always ssh-copy-id. To install your public key from your local machine you would

# ssh-copy-id $user@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca

This will automagically guess your which key to install. For everything else have a look at the manpage."
