No mail is fine. login is doing it's job and checking whether there is
mail in /var/mail/$user. The no such files are okay, too. It's looking
for gettext translations for libc for your locale, but none exist.

OK, so it looks like it really is a problem with permissions. login is
telling you the truth in this case. So, why can't you access bash? It
might help if you ran strace again with -v or -e abbrev=none so we can
see the whole system call. I'm still confused. Here's what execve(2)
has to say about EACCESS errors:
EACCES Search permission is denied for a directory listed
in the new
process image file's path prefix, or the new process
image file
denies execution permission, or the new process
image file is
not a regular file and the implementation does not
support exe-
cution of files of its type.
Oh. Check all the directory permissions leading to bash. I.e., / and
/bin. Probably /lib to as it will link to libraries there. The
directories need to be executable and the binaries need to be readable
and executable.

Permissions on / and /bin 755
Permission on /lib was 700
Changed to 755
The system works
Lots of thanks
