Does this exist?
/var/lib/alfresco/alf_data

Does it have the permissions the same as the alfresco process?

Directory exist's :-

Can't seem to figure out where the problem is…

Solving method is available on the wiki :- http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Linux_Installation_Troubleshooting

1. Stop Tomcat
2. Delete "alf_data" directory
3. Drop and recreate the database
4. Edit the "repository.properties" -> change index.recovery.mode=VALIDATE to index.recovery.mode=FULL
5. Start Tomcat and monitor the "catalina.out" log
