I tried this already. No luck.
 ps aux|grep -i banshee
sl70      1095  0.0  0.0   7244   772 pts/0    S+   18:10   0:00 grep
--colour=auto -i banshee

I tried this, too:
lsof |grep -i banshee

And this:
fuser /home/sl70/.config/banshee-1/banshee.db-journal 

And still:
 /bin/rm banshee.db-journal 
/bin/rm: cannot remove `banshee.db-journal': Text file busy
