This is usually due to an existing ppoa running with the USB interface
claimed. Are you sure the message your seeing isn't from a respawned
pppoa?
Check ps ax before calling pppd to see if its running.

There are a lot it works for fine so I'm assuming its something strange
about your setup. I run pppoa3 on BTO and get 10days+ fine and I've
spoken to a fair number who have it working.
Don't worry, we will get you working to in a mo :-)

Not as far as I know, but do look for rouge pppoa's

Kernel looks a bit old (and isn't listed in linux-doc/results). I would
suggest a more upto date kernel for starters (or a stable 2.2.17+
kernel).
A few more details would be nice, see question 5 of the FAQ for what is
helpful. (the FAQ is in the source distribution under doc-linux.)
