Having an odd issue with PEX

[MattALevine]

Here's the error log I'm getting:

08.06 18:55:37 [Server] INFO ru.tehkode.permissions.exceptions.PermissionBackendException: Error loading permissions file!

lmk if I should post my config file as well.

Also this section seems suspicious:

08.06 18:55:30 [Server] INFO [Economy] Essentials Economy found: Waiting
08.06 18:55:30 [Server] INFO [Permission] PermissionsEx found: Waiting
08.06 18:55:30 [Server] INFO [Permission] SuperPermissions loaded as backup permission system.
08.06 18:55:30 [Server] INFO [Chat] PermissionsEx found: Waiting
08.06 18:55:30 [Server] INFO Enabled Version 1.7.2-b107
08.06 18:55:30 [Server] INFO WEPIF: Vault detected! Using Vault for permissions

And there's another line that says

08.06 18:55:29 [Server] INFO Server permissions file permissions.yml is empty, ignoring it

but I think that's referring to the main server config file that I don't care about rn.

I think I found the error myself, was missing a handful of apostrophes. No errors about PEX are jumping out at me anymore in the console.
