David.allen,
I sent you text file from neo4j log . Can you read it?

It looks like this is the relevant piece of information.

This suggests that you have two running database processes trying to access the same set of files, which won't work. Please attempt to use your operating system's process monitor to kill any instance of Neo4j you see running, and then try to restart the database to see if it works.
