It can't find the shell. Had the same problem.
Find where in your systhem you have GNOME_Evolution_Shell.server -file.
It should be in <installation prefix/lib/bonobo/servers

Then add it to bonobo's directory list by:
bonobo-activation-sysconf --add-directory=<the path to the diretory
containing the server-file> 

That did it for me. Might be you have to restart gnome for that to take
effect, can't remember for sure.
