Unfortnately I deleted the email, but I believe Darren sent me a private email saying the permissions on /dev/tty were wrong.
Anyway the permissions on /dev/tty were incorrect. On the non-working machines this device was owned by a user and was rw by him only. I changed the device to "crw-rw-rw- root:tty" and things are working correctly now.
