I have the same kind of problem, the error message is however:

   TypeError: __init__() takes at most 7 arguments (8 given)

My fstab entries look like this:
UUID=c3329969-5a64-4ce1-905f-b42ac9649a84 / btrfs defaults,subvol=@ 0 1 #/dev/sda2

I've put a comment line behind each entry, which is interpreted as the 8th argument. If I remove the comment, all goes fine.

Since a line-end comment is allowed in fstab, maybe the python script should allow for it too, for sake of compatibility.

This bug causes the Natty->Oneiric upgrade to fail, and so I think this patch needs to be backported to Natty as a high-priority update ASAP.
