This looks like a normal error based on the absence of a session daemon.

Is it possible you created a session in the mean time ?

The only command that should spawn a session daemon is "lttng create ... ".

Just to make sure this  is not simply because sessiond is not ready you 
can pass the "-b" option to lttng-sessiond to make sure that the command 
line return only when sessiond is ready.

This is clearly unexpected, logs should provide more information.

Since you passed the -vvv option could we see the log ?
