Comment 4 for bug 1464107

The debugging output came from line 153, but the config
files (which include /etc/vmbuilder.cfg) aren't applied until line
175.

Exactly what does your vmbuilder.cfg look like? Have you looked
over https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JeOSVMBuilder#Using%20configuration%20files
?
