This message shows the problem : something is wrong wih d-bus on your
system. Maybe the session bus is not started or it's not setup properly.

Banshee uses d-bus to check if there's already an instance of itself
running. So I guess that if you fix your d-bus issue, Banshee would
behave as you expect.
