Well, the error suggests that the problem is connected with the 
wpa_supplicant.
It's either not running or in some bad state. /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log 
would say more. Best follow http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/Debugging, 
"Debugging WiFi Connections" section to enable debugging logs.

If wpa_supplicant is running, you can also get scan list via D-bus:
sudo dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant 
/fi/epitest/hostap/WPASupplicant/Interfaces/0 
fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant.Interface.scanResults

(use
sudo dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant 
/fi/epitest/hostap/WPASupplicant fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant.getInterface 
string:wlan0

to get the correct interface path)
