I have the exact same problem. Does the FM radio works ? The FM radio (not the FM transmitter) and the bluetooth are on the same chip (Broadcom BCM2048). If they both are broken perhaps it is an hardware fault.
I didn't still send my n900 to nokia because I am afraid about how much time they take to repair it (leaving me without it)...

rather thad just outright deleting the MAC address folder, i moved it to an alternate position (i have an "And" folder used for nitdroid)
rebooted....
IT WORKS!!!!! yahoooooo! think i lost all my pairings but who cares... looks like deleting this works afer all....
"Deleting the /var/lib/bluetooth/<macaddr> fixed the problem." indeed it does....

you must enter it as root user.
open terminal and type 'root' or 'sudo gainroot' without the ' and '
then type 'start bluetoothd'

Thank you for all your help and replies guys (and girls of course)
... but I also didin't deinstall all above mentioned and other programs (except the ones mentioned in my first post and AutoDisconnect of course)
... so I have also stopped
and started the bluetooth service:
... and then tried
... if in my case really is just one of the "hundreds" of installed programs causing the problem, well then I have a problem
(but still much better then a HW problem)

Hello Noob. 
One of the convenient way to do so is to manually delete the folder.
1°) If you don't have it yet, install this application :
http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/rootsh/
2°) You need then to open a terminal. Either you find it in the app menu, either you use the shortcut sym/ctrl-shift-x
You see at the end of the bootom line a'$' sign : it means you have a simple user access to the N900. I guess the user privilege aren't enough to be able to delete the folder you want. So you want to become root.
3°) you become root either by taping the command
sudo gainroot
or simply
root
New lines are written to the screen and you can see now the sign "#" at the end of the last one. It means you're root, ie God of the N900. Keep in mind you have now the power of destruction on your system, so be extra careful, specially as you are going to use the rm command.
4°) Simply type
rm -rf /var/lib/bluetooth/<macaddr>, where <macaddr> is replaced by your own mac adress.
At this point you may not have a single clue about the name of that folder as you may not know what your Mac Adress is.
So a trick is to type only
rm -rf /var/lib/bluetooth/
and then stop typing.
Then hit the Tab button at the bottom of the screen (do that once or twice). It should print all the folders and files listed in "bluetooth". The one named with your Mac address is like XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, so you can't really miss it.
Underneath you'll find the line you just typed before, waiting to be completed with the name of the folder you want to delete (be extracareful not to hit enter at that moment as you would destroy the whole bluetooth folder).
Just start typing one or two letters of the <macadr> folder (respect the case). Hit "Tab" button again : it should auto complete the name folder, saving you time and errors in typing the whole name. Now you can hit the enter key to delete the folder. And close the term application.
Please note I don't take any responsability if you brake your system by following this guide. Besides I don't know either if this process will solve your bluetooth problem (But I hope for you it works).
