Android is not (yet) comparable to PC in terms of connectivity. People has to wait til Android 3.x (Honeycomb) to have Bluetooth PAN profile included in the connection settings. (and good luck with DUN) Before that, people used to root and tinker to get Bluetooth PAN/DUN work. So, consider yourself lucky to have gotten a honeycomb, otherwise you might have to root yours like others.

Back to your issue, the script is enabling your N900 to supply Internet to PAN peers. So at least you must have an Internet connection on N900 before your peers could make use of it.

I just re-check the script and it should prompt you for Internet connection first. Was it failed to connect to Internet on N900? Please check by browsing with your N900.
