Bug Description
When trying to start pantheon-files I get the following error messages:
pim@chaos ~/elementary/

Just for completeness, I also tried to start the daemon which results in the following message:
pim@chaos ~/elementary/
Database path: /home/pim/
** (process:14790): CRITICAL **: marlind-
Any clue what might cause this?
Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Do I understand correctly that you are running under Gentoo?
Files is primarily intended to be installed on Debian based systems and when installed the binary is /usr/bin/ pantheon- files. Alternatively, if compiled from source without installing, the binary is in XXX/build/ pantheon- files, where XXX is the root of the source tree.
You appear to be running from ~/elementary/ pantheon- files/install/ bin/pantheon- files and none of the expected default directories were found (~/Downloads etc) so this may be causing the problem.
