Yes.  Everything works fine for me until I define the diary-file to be
the journal.org file.  The normal diary file is _not_ an org file
normally.

So I think org-mode is trying to read the diary file in diary format
which is completely confused.

Try

(setq diary-file "~/diary")

where ~/diary is empty.  That fixes it for
me.
