Where did you download the RPMs from? What version of Nautilus and the other
packages?

What is the exact message?

The looping is due to the fact that Nautilus is registered with the session
manager, and keeps getting restarted when it fails. The rules about when
this happens have been refined for the upcoming Nautilus 1.0.3 release so
they won't cause so much trouble.
