I think that there may be some similarities to this thread:

  http://support.bb4.com/archive/200507/msg00025.html

Specifically, the message that you are seeing is triggered by
checks for persistent BB processes. The existence of an old
BBPID file just causes the checks to be made.

To test, do a "runbb.sh stop"; check manually for stubborn BB
processes and remove them; manually remove the BBPID file and
then do "runbb.sh start". If you repeat this procedure, it
should indicate which process is causing the problem.

If, following this, you do identify stubborn BB processes, I'd
try modifying the runbb.sh script to correct something that
looks like a typo to me. About a third of the way in, there
are four lines (one for each BB process) like this:

  $PS | $GREP $BBHOME | $GREP -v grep | $GREP -v bb-display
>> $BBTMP/runbb.sh.$$

The "-v" flag on the third grep looks wrong to me. I would try
removing them from each of those lines and see if a "runbb.sh
stop" is more effective without them.

Cheers, Phil.
