Also you do not need to touch "git-daemon-export-ok", that file is used by git-daemon to export the repository via git://. Since you acces it via ssh you don't need it. You don't need to clone the repository again, just edit the .git/config file and add origin reference there (see <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-push.html" title="git-push" rel="nofollow">git-push documentation</a>) You can also create the repository remote (“GIT_DIR=myproject.git git init”) then push via ssh to that repository.
