Permissions was the first thing that crossed my mind, and the first 
thing I checked.  It seemed odd, since I had so carefully set up the 
permissions on this server, but I was willing to consider it.

Disk space also crossed my mind, but a quick check showed that there was 
no problem there.

He's being strangely reticent on that.  I asked him, and he said, "Let's 
just say I forgot something, and leave it at that."  I know that he was 
using the same rule that he used for students to log in to one of our 
other servers, replacing the incoming IP address with my own IP address, 
and the server's IP address with the one I wanted to get to.  I'm 
guessing that he simply forgot to put in the appropriate IP address 
somewhere.
