Server Not Starting - RPT output included - any help appreciated

Hello fellow A3 Epoch enthusiasts,

My server has or was running fine, and then after I installed some very easy to install scripts my server stopped dead in its tracks when I tried to start it.  Naturally I looked at the RPT and this is what I get and KEEP getting even after rolling back any recent script installs.  I am very frustrated and hope that someon out there can point me in the right direction.  Here is what the RPT looks like: (the last line is definitely the culprit but I cannot figure it out)

I literally rolled back to a plain vanilla server and still get this problem. In @epochhive I running a3eai which has been working fine for a couple of weeks.  I have added the following scripts, some are loaded in the MPMission folder and called from init.sqf.  Vampire's Invasion missions, ATMTraders, Halv's spawn config & HALO scripts, service rearm & repair, and HS BlackMarket Trader 1.6 all of which WERE working.  I have literally gone back to a basic server and still get this maddening message and no server startup. 

What I surmise is this is happening right at the beginning of a server startup, so somewhere in that process, this error is occurring.  What I would love is a manual that explains just exactly how a server starts and the processes it goes through so I can improve my troubleshooting skills.  In the meantime I am just hoping someone out there already has that ability and can help me get it up and running.

Any advice at this point would be VERY appreciated.
