Your \bar command is sitting outside a music expression, so it is 
getting treated as an alternative all on its own--if I understand the 
constructs involved.  Try instead:

%%%%
\defineBarLine ":|]" #'(":|]" "" " |.")
\relative {
  \repeat volta 2 { c''4 d e f | }
  \alternative {
    { c2 e | \bar ":|]" }
    { f2 g | }
  }
  c1
}
%%%%

P.S.  No idea about the nabble stuff... does the archive [1] at 
lists.gnu.org have the data you want?
