This is driving me bonkers. I'm using the cli.php script. It's getting to this line 226 of cli.class.php and disappearing (i.e. exiting, no error on screen or in any log).
if(!CRM_Utils_System::authenticateScript(TRUE, $this->_user, $this->_password, TRUE, FALSE, FALSE)) {
The _user and _password look good at this point, and I'm able to login with them. I even gave them every permission, though it doesn't look like this should even matter yet.

Can any one think of why this authenticateScript would be behaving so badly? Maybe thowing up because of something like an unescaped character in a password?

If no one has a clue, I'll keep digging.

Wow, I can't believe no one else has experienced this. Here's what I've found after a lot of digging.
So, it's not a session problem.

Here's where I think the problem is:

 if (!CRM_Utils_System::loadBootstrap(array(), FALSE, FALSE, $civicrm_root)) {
      $this->_log(ts("Failed to bootstrap CMS"));
      return FALSE;
    }

in combination with a previous
$civicrm_root = dirname(__DIR__);

Aargh, scratch that - running it as a drush has just trashed my site, it seems to have changed some config file somewhere.

I checked this morning and it seems to be working, in spite of that output.

Conclusion: the drush method worked.

Well, if you mean that the output is benign, then yes. But it does look rather like someone left some debugging data in somewhere (possibly me ...).
