There is something weird going on here. I have the latest evince and I was getting the same errors. Creating ~/.gnome2/evince was not enough....I had to touch last_settings to get evince to open at all. For the record, my home dir is NFS mounted. And although evince opens now I still get these messages when running evince from the command line:
