Regards.  

Very likely this is a 'quota' problem.

When a user is logged in, the shell usually runs 'quota -v' to see if
the user is overquota on any filesystems.

If there are nfs mounts, the machine must contact the remote server via
an RPC QUOTA call and wait for a response.  If no response comes in 60
seconds, the call will time out.

You should be able to mount the filesystem with the 'noquota' option to
signal that quotas should not be checked on the filesystem.
