standalone-shell is deprecated... please download the neo4j distribution (f.ex. 1.2.M04) and use bin/neo4j-shell from there as your shell. You are getting this error because you run the old standalone-shell distribution which uses an older kernel (w/ NeoStore v0.9.5) on a db created with a newer neo4j version.
