The script assumes that a bridge already exists and is the default route.

Adding this to the /etc/network/interfaces should get past this problem:

auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth0 eth1
bridge_stp off
bridge_maxwait 5

Replace 'eth0 eth1' with the physical interfaces you want in the bridge.

If the person who writes these scripts every reads this then for crying out loud put a comment in the damn things describing what you are trying to achieve please!!
