It looks like it isn't really making it past authentication.  You might try 
'psftp -v' and see if that gives you anything else more useful.  If not, I 
would try from a Linux box (perhaps the server in question) turning up the 
debugging information (ssh -v[v][v]) until you have sufficient information.  
Also, once the password request is made (assuming no public-key auth), then 
you can strace the process on the server side and see what it's doing.

Hope that helps.
