You can probably do (setq diary-file nil) I just did that. This variable seems to want to be a filename - and there's no way to customize it to nil on my version of emacs... but I never use it so it doesn't bother me and it can point to any non-existent or empty file. I used the diary eons ago and so I have a leftover empty ~/diary file in my setup. I have since moved to keeping my diary entries in the org-agenda-diary-file instead. I've just set diary-file to nil and nothing broke immediately so I'll just leave it that way until something bad happens :) I'm glad you got that issue fixed.
