This means one of two things, either the user at host specified in the 
operator {}; doesnt match your host on IRC, or that the class specified in
the operator {}; is invalid and/or full.

As your user="*@*"; check the class option.  Make sure the class is defined
validly, and that its defined *above* the operator.  Try looking through
your logfile and see if theres any conf errors.
