Answer 1

Currently, the OSX boot2docker setup only works for folders under /Users/ , so your folder will be inside your boot2docker container, not on your client.

Your best option is probably to modify the location of the ssh-agent socket file. ssh-agent has an -a option which might be worth looking into.
