As workaround to take back control of banshee without reinstalling it

$ sed -i 's/Addin id="Banshee.LibraryWatcher,1.0" enabled="True"/Addin id="Banshee.LibraryWatcher,1.0" enabled="False"/g' $HOME/.config/banshee-1/addin-db-001/config.xml

Basically, edit file

    $HOME/.config/banshee-1/addin-db-001/config.xml

changing the value of Banshee.LibraryWatcher,1.0 to False
