Do this on both ubuntu and the N900, and when you try to ssh next time it should ask if you want to trust the device and then automatically setup a key again.

Again I don't own an N900 but this works for me on my N800 and ubuntu desktop

***EDIT***
sorry idk how much linux experience you have:
you may have to be root when opening the file to be able to save it.
on N900 idk what editor is available. On N800 I just use leafpad, so from the command line I would type:
sudo leafpad .ssh/known_hosts
and this would open the file to edit in leafpad
Thanks, I will try clearing the known_hosts files. I only have the default vi editor in the N900 and I don't know how to use it very well yet.
