need more of the log file. this doesn't show enough to work out which plugin could be causing the problem. position 184 is a line or character in a config file.
here is a list of plugins installed autoannouncer, creepercontrol, easyessentials, epsell, iconomy, mobbountyreloaded, nolagg, permisionsBukkit, simple money, vault, world edit
Can you pastebin a server log? From probably at least 5 minutes before this happened to a few minutes after as well just to be safe. Just from what you have posted it looks like there is a illegal character in one of your configuration files. Also could you post the output of the "version" command? Edit: Please tag me with daboross if you are going to reply.
i'd make a guess that its announcer. its the only plugin that i can think of that you may have put a special character into. (like ♪♫)
