Researching this issue a bit more, I edited /usr/sbin/debootstrap and added KEEP_DEBOOTSTRAP_DIR=true
I notice a lot of failures in the debootstrap/debootstrap.log when vmbuilder was setting up the packages.
My problem was that I was attempting to create a vm with a newer Ubuntu suite (saucy) than I was currently running.
I was running vmbuilder on 12.04 (precise), and attempting 'saucy'.
I followed this (very nice) writeup: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualization-with-kvm-on-ubuntu-12.04-lts
to --suite=precise (like the writeup said)... it worked like a charm.
Note: there's a long pause at: 'INFO : Calling hook: bootstrap' -but if you tail-f debootstrap.log, it's doing a lot of work.
Eventually vmbuilder returns to showing you progress.

This bug no longer affects me. Thanks.
