You have encountered the GNU Radio 3.0.3 bug with Linux kernel 2.6.20.
There is already a fix available, but it hasn't made into a new GNU
Radio release.
Please obtain the Subversion client software (install with Synaptic in
Ubuntu), then follow the directions for checking out and installing GNU
Radio at:
http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/BuildGuide
Be sure to use the latest release 3.0 branch code at:
http://gnuradio.org/svn/gnuradio/branches/releases/3.0

That tutorial is outdated; the correct files are in place and are
getting loaded automatically.

The file is in:
gnuradio-examples/python/usrp/
And you should invoke it with:
./usrp_wfm_rcv_gui.py -f 101.5M
(Use whatever local broadcast band FM station is in your area)
