unable to SSH after vmbuilder-created instance launches

I´ve created a new AMI using vmbuilder, and I´m able to launch the instance on a ¨m1.small¨ instance type, but when I try to connect to it via SSH, I get connection refused.

I´m using Version: 0.10-0ubuntu2 of python-vm-builder-ec2.

Here is how I´m building the AMI. Do I need to specify kernel and ramdisk IDs (ec2-kernel, ec2-ramdisk)?

$ sudo vmbuilder xen ubuntu --ec2 --debug

here is the contents of my ~/.vmbuilder.cfg file:

Anyone know what might be the problem?
