If you fully rebuilt dbus with --localstatedir=/var there's no way 
you'll get this error... if you're still getting it after that, then 
something is not rebuilt, or not reinstalled, or not restarted, or not 
deleted.

If you're getting a different error now then let us know what it is.

Replacing the system bus on a system that already has an rpm/deb 
packaged system bus I would consider a plenty advanced thing to do 
though... it's not something I'd mess with if you can help it. If 
possible, replacing the rpm/deb with a new one would be a lot better 
than trying to somehow overwrite the rpm/deb stuff with a tarball build.
