OSX boot2docker hangs on “Waiting for VM and Docker daemon to start …”

I've installed boot2docker on OSX 10.8.5 and it seems that the installation went fine, but when I try to launch boot2docker I get the following, which hangs indefinitely:

$ /usr/local/bin/boot2docker up Waiting for VM and Docker daemon to start.............................................................................oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

What steps should I take to debug this? I haven't been able to find any information on this particular issue.

In my ~/.bash_profile file:

export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.59.103:2376export DOCKER_CERT_PATH=/Users/Me/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vmexport DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=1

When I open VirtualBox, this what I see:

I've tried powering off and removing the boot2docker-vm using the Virtual Box GUI, and I get the following when I run boot2docker again:

$ /usr/local/bin/boot2docker init error in run: Failed to initialize machine "boot2docker-vm": exit status 2

And then:

$ /usr/local/bin/boot2docker up Waiting for VM and Docker daemon to start..................................................................…..

Which hangs endlessly.

Additionally

$ docker psFATA[0000] Couldn't read ca cert /Users/Me/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm/ca.pem: open /Users/Me/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm/ca.pem: no such file or directory

And:

$ sudo docker psFATA[0000] Get http:///var/run/docker.sock/v1.16/containers/json: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: no such file or directory. Are you trying to connect to a TLS-enabled daemon without TLS?

Following Sven's advice below deleted the boot2docker-vm again and run init in verbose mode:
