I've just commented on the bug in Launchpad.
It looks like it's a bug in an underlying library, so no need to open
an bug in our bugzilla.

The message you pasted are expected and ahve nothing to do with the
problem : the hardware support just looks at the hard-drive volumes in
the system to check if they're not an Apple device.

In this case, it turns out opening a bug on Launchpad was the right
thing to do, as the problem is probably not in Banshee, but in an
other part of Ubuntu. It's just that your bug report was not triaged
yet.
