"target machine actively refused connection" usually indicates a port/firewall issue. Is the client coming from a different IP space than other connections. If you have a Security Group configured for a VPC server, it could cause what you are seeing. Also, double check this client is connecting to port 22.

That doesn't seem likely to me. While troubleshooting, we set the security group to accept traffic from 0.0.0.0/0. In additional, from previous experience with security group issues, I would expect a timeout while establishing the connection, rather than the server rejecting it.
