It may indeed have had something to do with Journaling, if there was an issue with the RAID, the journal file might have been played back to a state where the backed up files weren't in the HD catalog. I would try a data recovery utility such as Prosoft Data Rescue rather than one like DW or TT...

By chance is this one of the new Intel iMacs? First, congrats on taking the troubleshooting step of finding out that it is only affecting your user account. Since it seems like the Finder's quitting, check your ~/Library/Logs/Crashreporter folder and see if you can identify that the Finder is...

A gmail account can easily handle a file that large, as can .mac. A gmail account is free, but you'll need an invite by someone who already has one. .Mac has lots of excellent features.

Your user account appears to have lost the connection to its home directory. Try creating a different admin user account and logging in as that user. Does the situation resolve itself? If so, then that's probably the issue. BTW, the repair permissions process won't fix your home directories...

It's possible that the font suitcase file that contains the Jensen Pro family might have some bitmap (screen) fonts from something already loaded in the system in it. In pre-OS X days it was easy to double-click the suitcase file to inspect the contents but OS X has no facility to do so. You'll...
