A little bit more interest in trouble-shooting could be helpful. :-/
Does the file

 | Failed to load module: /usr/lib64/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so

exist? If not, does anything change if you install the "gvfs" package?
Because
  yum whatprovides /usr/lib64/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so
says the files is found within "gvfs".

Also, could you retry after removing the entire directory /home/psmith/.dropbox-dist/?
Is the problem reproducible within a fresh user account?
