are you running df -h in x-term?

Goess off after a "buzz" then few seconds later, i think 30 seconds. It goes on again

I had this same problem when I first got my phone (about a month ago) and tried to use the NSU to update the FW. If you look at the screen closely I think you'll see the Nokia sign (which is initially on a white screen, but then on a grey one) disappear. That's about the same time the buzz happens. I think it's basically the phone switching off and then it starts up again trying to boot and the cycle repeats.

Some people recommended charging the battery in another phone, which I did, but that changed nothing. In the end I was able to flash via USB (Windows XP). I realise you've already tried this and it didn't even work, so not sure what to suggest. I just wanted to say that I don't think your phone/battery is charging in the current state it's in.

Does anybody know if this update or the incoming PR1.2 will contain a fix for the shitty USB connection which pulled out with my charge lead today?

I have no idea what hildon-initscripts are but I have a fully charged battery and 55mb of root space free but no update is shown. If you cannot suggest anything, I guess I will see if the update shows tomorrow.

Unless the update includes tiny nanites which will crawl into your N900 and rebuild the USB connection (I suspect not - the changelog would mention these), I'm guessing neither firmware update will be able to repair physical damage.
