I am using C and just to confirm, I also went to the Python-Bluez binding making use of the DBUS API. And I got the same error message.

If it is a config issue, I would like to know what I should be putting into my dbus.conf and hcid.conf?
Thanks

I'm kind of surprised you haven't figured this out already. All you
need is a running hcid process, and you need to use the system bus
(it's not clear from your description whether you used the session or
the system bus). hcid provides the D-Bus well known name org.bluez on
the system bus. Because your D-Bus client doesn't find org.bluez
(i.e. hcid is not running) it tries to see if it is activatable but
does not find any .service file which would describe how to activate
it (because hcid is not meant to be activated by D-Bus, but should
e.g. be run from an init script).
