I don’t know if you’ve resolved this on your own, but I think the problem is that if you are using the BP template pack, or another non-BP theme, Buddypress’s functions.php file is not loading, so those functions are not getting defined. I don’t know where the function is that loads BP’s functions.php but I just went and added an include in bp-custom.php to load it before any of the other scripts.
Like this:
$bp_functions_file = ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php’;
include $bp_functions_file;
There’s probably a better way but that was a quick fix I used to fix that error. I didn’t get any “cannot redeclare…” errors so I’m assuming the file is not loading anywhere else.

PS. adding “Template: bp-default” to my style.css didn’t work for me either.
PPS. I am using the freshnews theme by woothemes.
