Hold down Command V on reboot to see what is actually going on when booting. 
 
Also try holding down the Shift Key when booting to boot into safe mode.

 Thanks, Cleo. I'd already tried everything except booting into safe mode...and then doing the required emptying of the trash. Once I'd done that (plus created a new empty folder, thrown it in the trash, and emptied the trash again), I was able to restart normally and login with no trouble.
