I'll answer this myself, as I just found the solution. Suddenly my 
user's home directory went from 700 to 777. I chmodded it back to 700, 
and now everything seems alright. I had a power outage this night, and I 
have no other explanation that my home directory mysteriously changed 
permissions.

Go figure.
