Why Does a Push Fail with Fatal Error: Null When Using LFS?

Question

We have a user with Sourcetree 4.0.2 on Mac that can successfully pull from a BitBucket repo and can push some files (updated a text file and a photoshop file) but when trying to push all files, the push errors out with about 7 or 8 Fatal Error: Null messages after reaching about 63% in LFS. Another user with the same configuration is pushing the same files to the same repo without error, the only major difference that I know of is the successful user is local admin.

I've tried pushing from Sourcetree's command line without success. I've also completely reinstalled Sourcetree, verified the user's credentials and verified the user can see the project in a browser.

unfortunately, that didn't seem to have an applicable solution but I did have the user run the log command and this was the result
