I wasn't able to reproduce this problem on my system (Ubuntu 12.04),
so I don't really know what's going wrong.
It's probably happening in the create-extension script, inside one of
the shell commands that are inside backquotes (the ` character).

>From the output of the script, it's probable after the "# Replace the
GUID", as the commands before seem to have been executed properly.
Your best chance is probably to edit the create-extension script and
add some print statements, to figure out what's going on.

You might also want to check if you can build from the
banshee-community-extensions git checkout without adding any
extensions, to make sure you have all the build dependencies.

I hope this helps!
