Wild guess, but are any disk quotas in effect?  Perhaps the SYSTEM
account (which sshd runs as before impersonating the user account) has a
quota associcated with it.  Though I would think the impersonation would
cause the quota of the user account to be in effect, but I don't know
the details of how sshd switches user contexts.
