Not shots in the dark.  It's difficult helping
from a distance as there's all sorts of trivial
things which would give more clues but I don't
know what exactly you've done to investigate
this, or what precisely your operating regimen
is.

Let's summarise:

So there is no problem starting git tasks,
but all fail during processing.  Errors 2
and 3 don't need ssh, so that isn't the
problem.  The git repo is a common factor,
but I don't see how a problem there could
generate error 4.

The common problem seems to be in locating
files under your account, ~/, from tasks
running under the bash shell.  What does
the env command return?  Is HOME still
set correctly (should point to your ~/)?

Perhaps you could mail me the output from
env.  Enter
env > env.txt
to get it into a file.

Well, that would eliminate one possibility,
and it's easy to do, but I'm not convinced
you have a problem with the git code.
