Do you follow the right procedure?
At first, Please check creating a new workspace on this page( http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/ros... )
As I use Hydro, I check Getting rosbuild Package Sources on this page ( http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/Tutorials/... ).
So, I worried if the package is compatible for Hydro. Anyway, I compiled the package and succeeded it. Please look at the following.
ken@ken:~/rosbuild_ws$ rosws init . ~/catkin_ws/devel
ken@ken:~/rosbuild_ws$ rosws update procrob_functional
[procrob_functional] Fetching https://github.com/procrob/procrob_functional.git (version None) to /home/ken/rosbuild_ws/procrob_functional

All I want to say is to follow the right procedure. I hope you will succeed.
For next question, try to type the following, if you build fuerte_workspace with mkdir -p ~/fuerte_workspace
cd ~/fuerte_workspace
rosws init . /opt/ros/fuerte
