It somehow looks like /etc/defaults/periodic.conf is damaged.
Have a look at it: It should be a shell script (sh syntax)
containing only variable definitions and comments. It will
be sourced by other scripts. Now what you're seeing there
looks to me like some comments got executed. A missing # could
explain this...

Check for the words "returning" and "status" in this file
and _where_ they appear. Anything suspicious?
