AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

That's it.  You don't have permission to cd into /etc!!!!!

that should probably be:

drwxr-xr-x  13 root  wheel  2048 Feb  2 23:50 /etc/

instead.

Wow, what a weird sequence of errors to be occurring b/c of that.  Just do
a "chmod 755 /etc" as root, and all your problems _should_ go away.  Oh, I
guess you'll need to do this in single-user since you probably can't login
in multi-user...

Later.
