Similar problem in karmic. In addition to the bash-null-permission denied, I also get permission errors when kdm attempts to execute Xsession, at lines 67, 75, and 18, all points attributable to the null- permission problem. Shutting down kdm and using startx gets me in but as root only, of course. When ctrl-alt-F1 brings the command line, it is immediately followed by a couple of screenfuls of the bash: /dev/null: permission denied lines, but it stops at a command prompt, allowing the use of sudo and service kdm stop. Permissions are correct when checked, but something, PAM? doesn't process the username and password when entered in kdm, bringing a return of the login screen, information relating to this only appears in the Xsession-errors log, which also notes that the log cannot be written due to permissions, but apparently it is. I've been bashing (no pun intended) my head on this for over a month. As far as I can tell, started with either updates or with installation of udftools.
