If you are confident that, with the account "superadmin" the netbeans working properly

It seems proper affirm that your user workspace is corrupted.

You can re-create a new workspace for user:

$  rm -rfv /home/userdir/.netbeans

Attention with this command you will lose information group projects and open projects. But do not lose, project data, you should just reopen them or create new groups.

Or you can move your workspace like this:

$ /path/to/netbeans/bin/netbeans -userdir /path/to/new/userdir

Or if you prefer to read up on what happened can be found in the corresponding logs directory:

/home/userdir/.netbeans/7.2/var/log

so you can decide if you can solve the problem in another way, without recreating your workspace.

It is also possible that for some strange reason, the user has lost the execute permissions on some netbeans folder.
