It refers to the database changes the SmartPlaylist plugin requires to
run.  You must have run the plugin back before it was officially
supported.  Unfortunately there were some database changes made
without an upgrade path since it was in early development then.  You
can either delete your database (wipe out your library, you'll have to
re-import) with

rm ~/.gnome2/banshee/banshee.db

or you can drop the Smart Playlist tables and they will be recreated correctly:

sqlite3 ~/.gnome2/banshee/banshee.db
sqlite>drop table SmartPlaylists;
sqlite>drop table SmartPlaylistEntries;
