It says it all: you're using an undefined variable (org-directory).

Adapt your code as this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  (setq org-directory "~/org/")
  (setq org-default-notes-file (concat org-directory "note.org"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best regards,
  Seb
