It's barking because of a mistake in jhbuildrc-gtk-osx which gtk-osx-build-setup.sh copies to ~/.jhbuildrc. 
That's the config file it's complaining about not being able to load. I've fixed the problem and pushed it. 
You can either run gtk-osx-build-setup.sh again or update it manually from the git repo.
