Create a new user in root recovery mode, you can also boot to netroot and get fully upgraded.

If you rename that file in root recovery mode you will be able to login. I am assuming this is not solved. Once logged in, I can give you my vanilla .profile file and it should get rid of the error. If this is genuinely solved, let us know and we can all move on.
