Hi Jason,
Thanks for your tips, I had wrongly ascribed the failure to the
introduction of the USB drive. I have a synched directory in Google
Drive so I copied everything from that directory to the USB drive on my
main machine. Then I entered the shell and ran a delete on the directory
in my laptop, and this has freed up the space for it to boot and run. I
did have the rescue disk standing by, but it was not needed on this
occasion. Panic has subsided, calm is restored, I am grateful for your
help. Thank you!!

If the system drive is full, as you indicate, then the error message
could be due to an attempt to write to an ecryptfs file system on the
full drive. Could you unmount any ecryptfs file system before
attaching the external drive, or simply mount it from a console
session and then move the files over?
If this doesn't work, then it's time to resort to a bootable, live
Linux distribution that will take you to a shell prompt from which you
can mount drives and move files around.
