That's not helping very much.
Could you please say whether your default login shell is /bin/sh instead of 
/bin/bash ?

And, could you please do (while the section below is still removed):

$ set -x
$ . /etc/bash_completion

and post everything here, including the error you're reporting?

Sure, because you're not using bash-completion anymore ;)

Kindly,
David
