AttributeError: 'cStringIO.StringI' object has no attribute 'split' in parse_changelog

I've been trying to build these two recipes:
https://code.launchpad.net/~nuclearbob/+recipe/qa-regression-testing-max-daily
https://code.launchpad.net/~nuclearbob/+recipe/max-qrt-daily
Over the past couple of days. They both build correctly on my laptop, but when launchpad tries to build them, I get:
Building recipe:

You have not informed bzr of your Launchpad ID, and you must do this to
