Most likely you installed incorrectly, and the old init process is still 
running. The initctl program uses a private connection and doesn't need 
the actual system bus. It should always be able to get to upstart.

There's already a trunk specfile in fedora CVS, its just not been tagged 
for build yet. You should use that.
