Ahhhhh, I just went through this hellish nightmare joyous experience and had a similar problem. Make sure that the login in question has been granted access to the SQL Server (Enterprise Manager->Security Tab->Logins) If the login doesn't appear there then add it, and check the databases it requires access to.

Other login/user related problems you might have:

-Users mismatched to logins, this can fix it: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=12615
-Users missing from or have wrong permissions in tempdb
-Jobs assigned to missing logins
-Logins missing from server roles (sysadmin, etc.)
