Sorry for dredging up an ancient topic, but I ran into the same
issue today; as ugly as it is, creating a symlink for my
personal Dropbox folder did the trick:
cd ~/
ln -s "Dropbox (Personal)" Dropbox
Yuck; BareBones, please fix your Dropbox location algorithm so
that it can intelligently find the Dropbox when using Dropbox
for Business alongside personal Dropboxes!
Unfortunately, Dropbox does not provide the mechanics necessary
for client applications to determine the file system location of
the Dropbox folder (or they didn't, last time I checked).
There's an expert preference for telling BBEdit where your
Dropbox folder is, if it's not in the default location:
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit DropboxRoot -string "/path/to/whatever"
No symlinking required.
For some reason I thought this was in the Expert Preferences
help, but it doesn't seem to be...

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they
sedate me.
