Is there any error-output from using `-v' to SSH:
$ ssh -v user_at_vserver

Are you definitely ``root'' within the vserver; what does this show:
$ grep -A99 s_context /proc/self/status

They don't care about the environment ("USER="), only the numeric user id,
which you can find out by doing (is this zero?):
$ id

Can you create/view files with simple utilities like:
$ touch test-file
$ cat > test-file-2
$ cat /etc/passwd

Is there a conflict with devfs and it's handling of `/dev' nodes?
Are other people running with devfs successfully? I really have no
idea how it works /within/ vservers...
