On Ubuntu 10.10 I have the same problems for some days now, did not change anything in Banshee and there was no update I guess.
When I start with sudo banshee, the program would start, but would not find the music files in the music home folder. Here is what I get in the terminal, perhaps it helps: [Info 20:46:43.935] Running Banshee 1.8.1: [Ubuntu 10.10 (linux-gnu, i686) @ 2011-02-02 09:04:16 UTC] [Warn 20:46:48.385] DBus support could not be started.
