nullPointerException on attempt to publish

I have a simple, almost empty default database. I have created one file in a folder, though did not upload content for it. I attempted to publish it into a section; I was not logged in as administrator to do that, though the user I was logged in as does have permission to perform this action.

I received an error page and the exception listed below was logged.

Examining the section shows that the file is there. However, back in the workspace, the Publish tab acts as if it was not properly published. Playing with this situation enough will eventually lead to exceptions complaining that the repository is corrupt.

Let me know if I can provide any other hints.
