The suggested solution has not worked for me either. This issue is becoming more urgent because Ubuntu One is dropping support for the current mechanism of synching in late Feb. Already their tinkering caused the server to think that I deleted all of my notes and proceeded to delete all the notes on my computer.
As the server situation drives people to search for other solutions, some will want to get Tomboy to synch locally with the Ubuntu One folder (or dropbox), something that doesn't work due to this bug.
