What do you get if you type "echo $PATH"? It sounds like your entire
system might be slightly screwed up. That message is basically openSUSE
saying "I know you have the app, but it isn't in a path that I've been
told to run apps from", which is a definite problem because /usr/bin
*is* a path that you run apps from as standard.

Two reasons why that'll fail: 1) you're trying to change directory to a
file and 2) you're changing directory to "/usr/bin" within the user's
home directory (/root in this case, because you "su -"'d). "ls -l
/usr/bin/banshee-1" should show you that the file exists and its size
(but the earlier output already tells you that)
