You must download and unpack the latest version of font-helpers 
(http://code.google.com/p/font-helpers/ ) into the directory containing the 
font sources. Svn version of font-helpers is preferable.

PS : would it be possible to clean-up font-helpers so a few entry-points can be 
installed in /usr/bin and the rest in /usr/share/font-helpers so it can be used 
without copying all this stuff in the working dir every time ?

Try svn version of font-helpers, it should fix the issue.

It will require major changes in installing font-helpers since fontforge 
scripting language does not support "library" directories like 
/usr/share/font-helpers. Some scripts have nesting calls to another ones. These 
scripts seem to have very limited usage to be installed system-wide.
