That shows that the session dbus is running, but the system dbus isn't. 
This is consistent with the messages you got when you tried to restart 
the session dbus.  In my experience things work pretty well even if the 
system dbus isn't running since MacOSX is really a one user system most 
of the time.  However, you can start the system dbus using the command 
you quoted before if you want to.
