I do not see anything obvious off hand, just some questions/observations:
1) Could there be permissions/environment issues. The user you are
running as in the OS shell is different from that in Postgres?
2) Do the SSH logs show anything that might be helpful?
3) It would be helpful though to know what version of Postgres you are
using. plpythonu has under gone a lot of changes over the last several
releases.
