Unable to clone a shared repository via ssh (mercurial)

Question

I am having an issue with mercurial. I have ssh keys set up between my machine and the bitbucket account I am cloning with and I am able to clone any repo that I have created. However I am trying to clone a friends repo and she has given me read access, however when I try to clone via ssh I get the following error:

"remote: conq: repository access denied. abort: no suitable response from remote hg!"

I am able to clone this repo via https and I am totally lost. It seems like an ssh issue but I am lost.

If none of the ssh troubleshooting BitBucket tips works, make sure you are not using sudo when trying to clone (as in "SSH to bitbucket returing Permission Denied (publickey)")

The key is to make sure your $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa(.pub) ssh files are used by the git clone command, and that your public key is in your account (which it should, since you can clone your own repos with ssh).
