Actually, the top few lines are probably more informative.

Well, that's good - lets org off the hook and probably indicts your
setup (both .emacs and maybe the structure of your home directory itself).
Can you post the backtrace for this?

Also try evaluating the following (fix the path of course):

    (file-truename "/path/to/suspect/file")

C-x C-e with the cursor right after the closing paren should do it.
Post this backtrace as well, assuming you get one.
