Well, the message means that another/running daemon is using the same bus name.
Check using:
$ ps aux | grep blue sneetsh+ 2226 0.0 0.0 333592 5432 ? Ssl 08:00 0:00 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-bluetooth/indicator-bluetooth-service sneetsh+ 2318 0.0 0.6 605972 48636 ? Sl 08:00 0:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/blueman-applet sneetsh+ 2765 0.0 0.0 31484 3348 ? S 08:00 0:00 /usr/lib/bluetooth/obexd root 5327 0.0 0.0 29864 4504 ?

Another option,
d-feet, it is DBus browser. In the bottom left corner, you can see the owner process.
Then sudo kill it or sudo service ... stop it if it's service. For default Ubuntu setup, it has a service, so run:
rfkill block bluetooth
sudo service bluetooth stop
Run your local daemon then enable bluetooth again
rfkill unblock bluetooth
Without switching of bluetooth, the bluetooth service will re-spawn again.
