Answer 1

git clone git@domain:/home/git/repositories/gitosis-admin.git

must use the full path

Answer 2

You should never use the full path (either with the old obsolete gitosis, or the more recent up-to-date gitolite)

Using the full path defeat the ACL (Access Control Level) put in place by gitosis/gitolite (as illustrated in "Gitosis on Ubuntu can only find repositories in the git->repositories symlink", and that is the same for gitolite).

See "Git on the Server - Gitosis" (if you really must use gitosis): if ~git/.ssh/authgorized_key does contains the public key of the git account, and if you are using those credentials (public/private key of the git account from your client), git@server:gitosis-admin.git should work.
