Pex not working... big error...

[seedsoms]

so I set up the permissions file by opening it up in a text editor. I thought it would take way too long ingame. I'm not sure of versions numbers if pex, but I'm using the newest version available as of 7/11/13 from the bukkir forums. My server was running a version of bukkit for 1.6.2. I logged in to my server and I couldn't do any commands or even chat despite myself being op. In the console it appeared that pex had disabled every plugin including itself. I copied and pasted some various errors out of the console that could be related to the problem. Please note that some of these errors were not all next to each other, but some were in other places of the console. All of these errors occured opon starting my server:
