Clean install on Emacs 24.3 on Mavericks fails with "Wrong type argument: stringp, nil" #144

I've downloaded a new clean copy of Emacs 24.3, deleted my ~/.emacs.d and installed emacs-live, but when I start Emacs I get the following error

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/Users/darth/.emacs.d/init.el':

Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.

Here's a complete stacktrace

I'm having the same problem, and as this is my first time using emacs... the stack trace is less than forgiving. Was hoping I just botched the config in some common way.
