I think this is the source of your problem.  NetworkManager doesn't manage
the loopback interface, and you've told ifupdown not to do so either. 
Please confirm this with:

  ifconfig lo

And post the output.  If the interface is down, uncommenting the above lines
and then running

  sudo ifup lo

should be enough to bring portmap up, fixing this problem for you.  (You'll
then want to make sure youalso reset your changes to the files under
/etc/init/.)
