use the strace, luke... sometimes it reveals very strange things happening
to your system.... that are not related at all to the real problem
(example - i had a case on a solaris system where i couldn't log in as
some user. trussing the 'su' command revealed the process got stuck when
scanning the root directory, and trying to stat the '/vol' directory -
which is a virtual directory created by solaris's vold daemon, which
happened to crush...).
