You can't (and shouldn't) access /var/lib/php/session directory with
your ftp account, which is normal and very desirable. That is why you
really should, as Erwin pointed out, contact your ISP about your
problem. Chances are that what you have here is a wrong set of
permissions - php must be able to read and write in that directory
(that is, the user that runs php).

Since php can't write to the sessions directory, sessions basically
don't work. Hence, all your session tests are bound to fail.
