Unfortunately I haven't.

AFAIK this message is not thrown by shib_auth. Do you know whether it is
thrown by the web server (403) or by Drupal? Because you say you are
logged in I assume shib_auth gets the relevant attributes, therefore it
creates the user entry in the database, right? If yes, the problem is
that the session creation (the work that is done by
user_external_login_register) fails for some reason.

Anyway, a DEBUG output might help to better understand the problem.
