Try to comment out the line above and use the custom interface to set
your agenda files. See if the error persists.

Maybe the unbalanced parentheses are in the custom-file, not in the
output. Is your custom-file eval'ing correctly?
Dynamically adding or removing files from the org-agenda-files variable
stores this variable in the custom file, even if you are setting this
variable outside the custom file. So, if you use C-c [ frequently, you
shouldn't set org-agenda-files outside of the custom-file.
Maybe the documentation should warn the user about this problem. I
don't see any simple solution...
