No, it is not Evo. :)

Generally you get this message, after updating Evo or building to a
different prefix, and starting that one -- with the the old b-a-s still
running. The issue is, that the running b-a-s does not find the
correct .server files in the dir where it expects them.

Killing b-a-s often solves this issue already.

Changing the BONOBO_* env var mentioned previously is one way to solve
this, if simply kicking b-a-s does not do it (most likely, cause Evo and
friends have been built to a new prefix). The best fix though is, to
change the b-a-s config and make it aware of the new prefix.

If it is the same prefix (likely, since you now cannot reproduce this
any more), this issue should be resolved by restarting b-a-s in whatever
way. Yes, rebooting (ugh) does this, too. ;-)
