I don't see an existing AUR user by that username or email address. When 
did you create it?

This does not make any sense. If you created an account with the same 
name, that means the account did not used to exist.

...

Note that the mysql database did run pretty low on disk space today, so 
writes were failing. If I assume that the account never existed, then 
it's possible you tried creating it today, and it seemed to work from 
the website but never registered in the backend. Since the disk space 
issue is now resolved, can you try signing up again?
