My system log tells me that the Event Monitor is constantly getting restarted and I have no clue what the actual problem might be.
system.log:

Checking the mentioned folder:
~ $ ll /private/etc/emond.d/rules/
total 0

I have compared that to an OSX installation that does not bail out constantly and it appears to be fine that way.
What might be the problem here?
