The problem is that your version of D-BUS is too old.

As D-BUS is still under development the API for the Python bindings has
changed; you'll need D-BUS from CVS or wait for the next release.

Alternatively, you can change how add_signal_receiver is called by
looking at this diff

 http://freedesktop.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/dbus/dbus/python/dbus.py?r1=1.8&r2=1.9

that describes the change from the old API (in 0.21) to the new API.

Cheers,
