Why would you want to write to that directory?

I have no idea - just supposing something needs to be created there when the expect "spawn" command runs.

BTW, just wondering, have you considered key authentification rather than using password?

Yes, I may move to key authentication at some point.

Hm, those permissions look ok. I'm afraid I don't know why expect fails for you, while you can still launch new terminals fine (they use the same mechanism).
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
