I have 2 suggestions: Check the permissions on the directory/files and see what they are set to. Also, Edit the proper XML file (not at work, don't have system to see which one) and remove the .. from the log path (What is the log path set to?). Once I get to work I'll dig out my docs and get into my hadoop install and see if I can give some better suggestions. – Nija Apr 26 '11 at 14:00

It seems like a permission issue. Try executing start-all with sudo command.
