Well it seems, as you really configured the same data directory '/data/nfsen/profile/live/cat2' twice:
nfcapd recognizes if there is already another process running, using the same data directory. It checks if, the other process is really running, or dead. This is not based on the pid file, but on
shared memory which nfcapd/nfexpire are using to communicate. ( IPC ).

So in your case nfcapd really found this process running. I guess there is a configuration issue, or a process which is still hanging around for some reason. Stop all nfcapd processes and check in the
ps output, if really all nfcapd collectors stopped. There should be no more shared memory segements allocated.

Could you verify that and come back with your findings.
