I removed him from the ban list/log and now when he tries to login to the forum it says 'username does not exist' though his username is clearly on the member list. If i try to PM him his username comes up as a choice to mail to but when you hit send it says username does not exist. Please help!

Also, ask the user to clear their browser's cache and try again, before we try to diagnose this further.

Can you check the user's profile on the forum, you can see the username and display name separately - Then make sure the user has the right username.
Also, check your forum's error log - is there anything that could be related to this?

Are there any others on your Forum with admin privileges ?
As they may inadvertently Banned or Worse scenario Deleted the account .
If you get user name does not exist then  that's what may have  happened .

Game over if that's what happened you will have to reinstall them  as a new user and make sure their ip has not been banned as well .
Just some things that have happened to me in the past.
Good Luck to you .

I can't edit my post so here is something else you can check 

If you have this option enabled in your admin you can  Go To
Admin/configuration/core features/Moderation, Administration and User Logs
Click on Moderator or Admin and see what was actually done .
