I was experiencing the same problem myself.
but this resolved it:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5023804

you remove the config folder for "banshee-1".
rm -r ~/.config/banshee-1

I used: rm -r ~/.config/banshee*
removing my older "banshe"e config as well.

This isn't the place for Banshee-1 bugs, since it isn't available in Ubuntu's repositories (the Banshee-1 PPA is separate). Please see the Banshee mailing list for support; this sounds like a migration issue that will require the nuke-source-tables command.
