The dimesion is indeed one. One can show that the element \begin{align*} \alpha_1 &= 1,\\ \alpha_n &= (1-n)\int_0^1 \frac{t^{n-1}}{\log(1-t)} dt\quad\text{for } n = 2,3,\dots \end{align*} lies in $E$. So let $x\in E$ with $x_1=0$. We need to show that $x=0$. Let $y_k=\frac {k+1}{k}x_{k+1}$. Then $y\in\ell^\infty$ and $Tx=x$ as well as $x_1=0$ lead to \begin{align*} 0&=\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{y_{k}}{k(k+1)},\\ \frac m{m+1}y_m&=\sum_{k=m+1}^\infty\frac{y_k}{(k-m)(k-m+1)},\quad m\ge 1. \end{align*} We have to show $y=0$. For $m\in{\mathbb N}_0$ let $z^{(m)}\in\ell^1$ be defined by \begin{align*} z^{(0)}_k&=\frac1{k(k+1)},\\ z^{(m)}_k&=\begin{cases}0&k<m,\\ \frac m{m+1}&k=m,\\ \frac{-1}{(k-m)(k-m+1)}&k>m. \end{cases} \end{align*} Now $\ell^\infty$ is the dual space of $\ell^1$. Let $\langle .,.\rangle$ denote the duality pairing. The formulas above say that $$ \langle{z^{(k)},y}=\rangle0\qquad\text{for }k=0,1,\dots $$ Therefore the theorem follows if we can show that the sequence $z^{(0)},z^{(1)},\dots$ spans a dense subspace of $\ell^1$. Let $Z$ denote the span of $z^{(0)},z^{(1)},\dots$. We will now show that the first canonical basis element $e_1=(1,0,\dots)$ lies in the closure of $Z$. We have $$ \begin{array}{ccccccccc} z^{(1)}&=&\frac12,&\frac{-1}2,&\frac{-1}{6},&\frac{-1}{12},&\frac{-1}{20},&\frac{-1}{30},&\dots\\ &\\ z^{(2)}&=&0,&\frac23,&\frac{-1}2,&\frac{-1}{6},&\frac{-1}{12},&\frac{-1}{20},&\dots\\ &\\ z^{(3)}&=&0,&0,&\frac34,&\frac{-1}2,&\frac{-1}{6},&\frac{-1}{12},&\dots\\ &\\ z^{(4)}&=&0,&0,&0,&\frac45,&\frac{-1}2,&\frac{-1}{6},&\dots\\ &\\ z^{(5)}&=&0,&0,&0,&0,&\frac56,&\frac{-1}2,&\dots\\ \end{array} $$ Let $a^{(1)},a^{(2)},\dots\in\ell^1$ be defined by $a^{(1)}=z^{(1)}$ and for $m\ge 2$ inductively by \begin{align*} a^{(m)}_k=\begin{cases} \frac12&k=1,\\ 0&2\le k\le m,\\ a^{(m-1)}_k+a_m^{(m-1)}\frac{m+1}m\frac1{(k-m)(k+1-m)}& k\ge m+1. \end{cases} \end{align*} Then $a^{(m)}=a^{(m-1)}-a_m^{(m-1)}\frac{m+1}mz^{(m)}$, so that $a^{(m)}\in Z$. Iterating the recursive relation, we get $$ a^{(m)}=a^{(1)}-a_2^{(1)}\frac32 z^{(2)}-\dots-a_m^{(m-1)}\frac{m+1}m z^{(m)}. $$ Setting $b_j=a_{j+1}^{(j)}$ this becomes $$ a^{(m)}=z^{(1)}-\sum_{j=1}^{m-1}b_j\frac{j+2}{j+1}z^{(j+1)}. $$ If we can show that the sequence $a^{(m)}$ converges in $\ell^1$, it follows that it converges to $\frac12e_1$, where $e_1=(1,0,0,\dots)$ is the first standard basis vector, so that we have $$ e_1\in\overline Z. $$ As the $\ell^1$-norms of ths $z^{(j)}$ are globally bounded, in order to show convergence of $(a^{(m)})$, it suffices to show $\sum_{j=1}^\infty|b_j|<\infty$. For this we read the recursive relation for $k>m$ as $$ a^{(m)}_k=\frac{-1}{k(k-1)}+\sum_{j=1}^{m-1}b_j\frac{j+2}{j+1}\frac1{(k-j-1)(k-j)}. $$ In particular, for $k=m+1$ we get $$ b_m=\frac{-1}{m(m+1)}+\sum_{j=1}^{m-1}b_j\frac{j+2}{j+1}\frac1{(m-j)(m+1-j)}. $$ It follows $b_j<0$ for every $j$ and with $c_j=|b+j|$ we have \begin{align*} c_m&=\frac1{m(m+1)}+\sum_{j=1}^{m-1}c_j\frac{j+2}{j+1}\frac1{(m-j)(m+1-j)}\\ &=\frac1{m(m+1)}+\sum_{j=1}^{m-1}c_j\frac{j+2}{j+1}\frac1{(m+1-j)(m+2-j)}\underbrace{\frac{m+2-j}{m-j}}_{\le\frac32}\\ &\le\frac1{m(m+1)}+\frac32\sum_{j=1}^{m-1}c_j\frac{j+2}{j+1}\frac1{(m+1-j)(m+2-j)}. \end{align*} Using $\frac1{m(m+1)}=\frac1m-\frac1{m+1}$ and collapsing the ensuing telescope sums we get \begin{align*} \sum_{m=1}^Nc_m&\le\sum_{m=1}^N\frac1{m(m+1)} +\frac32\sum_{j=1}^{N-1}c_j\frac{j+2}{j+1}\sum_{m=j+1}^N\frac1{(m+1-j)(m+2-j)}\\ &=\left(1-\frac1{N+1}\right)+\frac32\sum_{j=1}^{N-1}c_j\frac{j+2}{j+1} \left(\frac12-\frac1{N+2-j}\right)\\ &\le 1+\frac34\sum_{j=1}^{N-1}c_j\left(1+\frac{1}{j+1}\right). \end{align*} Subtracting $\frac34\sum_{j=1}^{N-1}c_j$ and multiplying by 4 we get \begin{align*} \sum_{m=1}^Nc_m&\le \sum_{m=1}^Nc_m+3c_N\\ &\le 4+3\sum_{j=1}^{N-1}\frac{c_j}{j+1}\\ &=4+\frac32c_1+c_2+\frac34c_3+\dots+\frac3{N}c_{N-1}\\ &\le4+\frac34c_1+\frac14c_2+\frac34\sum_{j=1}^{N}c_j. \end{align*} Subtracting $\frac34\sum_{j=1}^{N-1}c_j$ and multiplying by 4 we get \begin{align*} \sum_{m=1}^Nc_m&\le 16+3c_1+c_2. \end{align*} Since this holds for every $N$, we conclude $\sum_{m=1}^\infty c_m<\infty$. So we have shown $e_1\in\overline Z$. The same argument mutatis mutandis shows $ej\in\overline Z$ for all $j$. The claim follows.
