Kurt, What happens if you change the shell via chsh? What happens if you attempt to set a different shell, like /bin/tcsh? Do you get the same result when you "log in" from within the shell using "login" or "su"? What does the user's login line look like in /etc/master.passwd after either vipw or webmin? Are you certain you aren't doing something silly with your editor like a line wrap or DOS newlines? If you want to debug, you can try doing ssh -v and / or sshd -d. Good luck!
