Don't know if this is still relevant, as this comes a bit late, but as
no one else has answered:

I didn't have the fail notice, but my nautilus hanged afte the
nautilus_self_check_directory too. And after googleing and seein many of
these similar posts, and non with an answer I got a thought and tried
one thing, and at least for me it worked...

run bonobo-slay
then start nautilus again
