I'm posting as I came across the same issue, and figured out the solution.

The system log tells you the start/stop script /usr/local/etc/rc.d/bandwidthd.sh
Login to the shell, can find out which config file is being used, in my case /usr/pbi/bandwidthd-amd64/bandwidthd/etc/bandwidthd.conf

then read the file with line numbers : less -N /usr/pbi/bandwidthd-amd64/bandwidthd/etc/bandwidthd.conf

I had : filter ip

which should be: filter "ip" <<< double quotes

Change using web interface, and it will work.

I hope this helps someone
