That message is from a related part of the code, which migrates radio
stations from the way they were stored in Banshee 0.x (XSPF files in
the folder you mention) and loads them into the database.
The import for default radio stations does the same thing, but looks
into $PREFIX/share/banshee/stations, where $PREFIX is the prefix you
passed to ./configure, or bin/ if you're running with "make run".

Other than that, you'll have to add some debug log in
src/Extensions/Banshee.InternetRadio/Banshee.InternetRadio/XspfMigrator.cs
to figure out what's happening.
