For what it's worth, the echo command works in both PreSession & 
PostSession for me.

For echo append the file had to already exist. For echo create the file
was created.

Is selinux messing with you? Here, I have it enforced and it isn't 
inhibiting the echo writes to a file in /tmp.

I just run my scripts that I utilize at login by adding them to 
System/Preferences/Personal/Sessions They are just cleanup scripts, etc.

.... but I guess that's technically actually in-session rather than
pre-session, maybe? I don't know if that will fit your requirements.
