How do I get vmbuilder to progress? [closed]

Question

I've used the following command to create my vm:

vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --verbose --suite=precise --flavour=virtual --arch=amd64 -o --libvirt=qemu:///system --tmpfs=- --ip=192.168.2.1 --part=/home/shared/vm1/vmbuilder.partition --templates=/home/shared/vm1/templates --user=vadmin --name=VM-Administrator --pass=vpass --addpkg=vim-nox --addpkg=unattended-upgrades --addpkg=acpid --firstboot=/home/shared/vm1/boot.sh --mem=256 --hostname=chameleon --bridge=br0

I've been trying to follow the direction here.

My system just outputs this and it hangs at the last line:

2012-06-26 18:08:29,225 INFO    : Mounting tmpfs under /tmp/tmpJbf1dZtmpfs
2012-06-26 18:08:29,234 INFO    : Calling hook: preflight_check
2012-06-26 18:08:29,243 INFO    : Calling hook: set_defaults
2012-06-26 18:08:29,244 INFO    : Calling hook: bootstrap

How can I get vmbuilder to continue the process instead of dying right here?

I'm running 12.04.

EDIT: Adding some additional output details

When I ^C to get out of the hang I see this:

^C2012-06-26 18:19:29,622 INFO    : Unmounting tmpfs from /tmp/tmpJbf1dZtmpfs
