YIKES!
What do you get if you ssh into that box with the credentials you gave zenoss It looks like something borken in the env provided on the remote box.
If this is the case you may need to reply with the output of 'env' here.

I have resolved this issue. This system is running RedHat/CentOS 6, but CPanel (http://cpanel.com/) has been installed on top of it. CPanel makes and manages tons of configuration changes to the operating system. One of those was adding "mesg y" to /etc/bashrc. Something to do with something it does for accounts it creates. This was causing the error. Its best not to change what cpanel changes, so I created a local account and removed the following from the account's ~/.bashrc:

if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then

. /etc/bashrc

fi

mesg y never got sourced from the global /etc/bashrc, which solved the problem. I could not fix this issue by setting mesg n in the account's ~/.bashrc, it gave a permission error.
