At a guess, your sshd doesn't have permissions to execute bash.

Why are those numbers like that? 1000 and 545? Shouldn't they read my username? Some of /etc/passwd:
SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18:: Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544:: Administrator:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:500:513:U-JOHN\Administrator john:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1000:513:John Pye,U-JOHN\john,S-1-5-2 sshd:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1004:513:sshd privsep,U-JOHN\sshd,S-1

How would /bin/bash have become chmod 777 ?
