I have no idea what is going on on your system.  I would figure you either have a problem with labeling, or you 
have a problem upgrading from an older version of SELInux.

Did you upgrade or was this a fresh install?
If an Upgrade, what version to what version

Also what does

# semanage login -l 
show?
# semodule -l | grep unconfined
Show?
