If I'm sued as root and I ssh somewhere, ssh/scp reads it's files from
/root/.ssh/. The docs say it reads from ~/.ssh which is what I want,

to my home dir.
Anyone know of a way around this behavior?

su - root
Nope. One other suggestion was 'su -l root'. This does not change
the situation either.
I went into the source for ssh and it does a getuid() and then gets
the homedir of that uid. So no amount of fooling with su is gonig to
fix this. I guess it's like this for security reasons, it sure seems
like a bug to me. I'd have used the HOME enviroment variable.
So far, the best fix I've found is to create some aliases in bash as follows:
alias scp="scp -o User=username -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa"
alias ssh="ssh -l username -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa"
alias rsync="rsync -op -e 'ssh -l username -i /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa'"
