Sorry you're having trouble.  I have no idea how editing sysctl.conf
and rebooting could change the permissions on your ~/Library folder or
remove any of your data.  Improving things so that sysctl.conf is less
likely to require alteration is on our radar screen, but changing that
file is not normally a dangerous operation.  I am not sure what went
wrong for you.
