I have
#john - memlock unlimited
in my /etc/security/limits.conf. That makes the error message go away.
I'm not sure if that's the right way to do it.

That makes my unit /dev/snd/midiC3D0 at this time.
I changed my /etc/ardour2/ardour_system.rc and ~/.ardour2/ardour.rc
files to specify:
<MIDI-port tag="mcu" device="/dev/snd/midiC3D0"
type="alsa/raw" mode="duplex"/>
and in the <Config> block
<Option name="mackie-emulation" value="bcf"/>
When I start ardour2 now I get this on STDOUT:
WARNING: Your system has a limit for maximum amount of locked memory!
This might cause Ardour to run out of memory before your system runs
out of memory. You can view the memory limit with 'ulimit -l', and it
is normally controlled by /etc/security/limits.conf Ardour uses Jack, so your problem is probably
related to Jack's MIDI
configuration.
Close. Ardour3 will use JackMIDI for this, when I can update the code
to fix some bugs. Ardour2 however uses ALSA, not JackMIDI.
If you are trying to get the BCF working with the Logic control
protocol in Ardour, see here...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This could be because the port is being used by something else. Try
this: go to Window/Preferences/MIDI and make sure mcu shows up in the
port list (along with control and seq on my system anyway), that it's
online, and that none of MTC, MMC and MIDI Parameter Control are
connected to it.
If that's all correct, try changing your /etc/ardour2/ardour_system.rc
and ~/.ardour2/ardour.rc only after ardour is shut down - sometimes it
overwrites the changed values during shut down.
