Did you check the file you've imported ?
I mean : open it, and 'read' it. Is very readable.

What happens when you install a clean pfSense, do minimal setups, just make it work with a WAN and LAN, and a new admin password, and then export the config.xml file (Diagnostics Backup & Restore Backup & Restore ).
Then import that file back in.

If that works fine, things start to point really to a faulty, 'wrong syntax' config file. You took the file from a crippled file system .. so .....

If that doesn't work neither, ditch the entire 'system', as issues are probably on a lower level, like file system ko etc..

Do you have access to Services > Auto Configuration Backup > Restore ? == backed up config files ?
