Then the next thing to try is probably (assuming you are running Linux):
Well, kind of: it's CentOS, which I'm finding quite recalcitrant
(e.g. I had to install strace).

strace -f -e execve git pull
Though I suspect we may just see:
execve("/opt/libexec/git-core/git-core/git-pull", ...) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
which doesn't help much. I just want to be sure that is the source of
the problem.
No, the output is interesting. The permissions denied is from the
erroneous /root install (see separate email):
[pid 3485] execve("/root/libexec/git-core/git-pull",
["git-pull"], [/* 18 vars */]) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
It looks in /opt/bin, but not /opt/libexec.
That looks like you are either running wrong git binary (one in /root/bin?)
or the git installation is busted.
No, the git libexec directory SHOULD NOT be in PATH (git will add it there
when needed).
