Ben,
I haven't used ECCE for a while so I cannot be sure that I interpret the error message correctly. However, it seems that ECCE has a problem creating the directory on the host uos-206553. Unless you explicitly created /local/scratch/calculations/ecce on that particular machine I can imagine it simply does not exist. You should be able to check this using
ssh ben@uos-206553 "ls -l /local/scratch"
I hope this helps.
