These command-line texts are actually awfully bad advice for most users! 
They solve the problem for users of KDE 4.4 prereleases who were already 
using Nepomuk with an old Virtuoso. But the reason most of you are seeing 
that error message is entirely different: you just have Nepomuk disabled in 
System Settings (under Desktop Search), please enable it there. These 
instructions will NOT solve your problem permanently as they only start 
Nepomuk in the current session (in fact they assume it's already enabled, 
just not working due to the Virtuoso migration which isn't affecting you at 
all).

I'm adding a paragraph to the userbase.kde.org wiki to make this clear. (But 
I've been trying to explain that to Anne Wilson all this time. :-( )
