Permission denied when pushing code

After trying a bunch of things, we managed to fix this by using PuTTY to SSH into the roboRIO. We then used the "cd" command to move to the home directory for lvuser and ran "chmod u+x /home/lvuser" which essentially gives write permissions to the owner of that directory.

This is a very weird way of solving the problem but it works and I am not sure why no one else got this issue

I just received this issue after updating (repeatedly) the firmware and image on our practice robot RoboRIO. I tried your fix but it did not seem to work. Please see below for a screenshot of the errors.

I know at least a few others on CD have reported similar to identical "permission denied" errors. I am not a hardcore programmer at all, so pretend I'm very unfamilar with Linux and SSH and all that jazz and please help me (and others) diagnose this problem quickly. Thanks in advance for the prompt assistance!

EDIT (twice...) - I was able to log in to the roboRIO using PuTTY and the admin login. I was also able to login using lvuser, but when I did, I got the same "permission denied" errors upon typing "lvuser" and pressing enter. See the other screenshot below.

Is there any chmod command or other such magic that can be employed against this impenetrable directory stronghold? Help me toss 8 boulders at this thing.

And please don't tell me to reimage the roboRIO without giving me a valid reason why I should. I've done that already.
