Did you check that you are not up against hard quota, and the filesystem is not full? I already suggested that, but my message seems to miss your attention. One thing you can try on remote host is: dd if=/dev/zero of=~/test.dat bs=1024 count=1 if that creates 1 kB ~/test.dat file, neither quota nor filesystem full is on your way. If that file has zero size, then you are hit by one of the above. Another possibility on multi-user system when this works for others but not for you is if you as UNIX user is prohibited [X]-forwarding by sysadmin (-"fascist"). I as sysadmin only twice during last decade had to restrict one single user from doing something, but it still is the possibility.
