I changed the order of some lines and make a diff between your log output
and mine:

It seems that eclipse doesn't use
.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.1.2/configuration/ as your
configuration
directory. With your exception in the log I think it can't create a
temporary lock file in
.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.1.2/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/.manager:
.tmpys9gk6.instance for example.

Can you try to create this file to see if you have some weird problems with your
file system.
