Also make sure you install python for the nap server.

Code:
apt-get install python
And wait a few minutes after a fresh reboot. Harmattan boots services in parallel and the UI may show up before the nap server is started from /etc/init/apps.

I've also read that this works more reliably when wi-fi is turned off on the Nexus 7.
I just would like to report an easy success with this method!

The N9 phone and N7 tablet were already paired. Neither one was rooted or anything special. I installed "BlueVPN [DUN Client]" on the Nexus 7 from Google Play. Then I copied a single line setting line from the N9 access point settings (the AP name) to the relevant setting on N7. It works beautifully!
