Yes, but I can't tell exactly which step is missing, without diagnosing
further.  Everybody else seems to have speculated and recommended
alternate methods.  ;-}

Your message subject says Ubuntu.  On Ubuntu, the bundlebuilder.py file
is provided by the python-sugar-toolkit package.

I don't know if Sweets changes this fundmental behaviour of Ubuntu, but
if it does I'm sure someone will say so.

Please check the list of packages installed, and if necessary use the
packaging system to install the python-sugar-toolkit package.

If the package is already installed, please check the files it installs:

dpkg --listfiles python-sugar-toolkit-0.88 | grep bundlebuilder

(you may need to change the version number)
