sorry 
since it seems that you are using Debian-based system and thus installed
already python-mvpa2 package.  Now

    sudo apt-get install python-mvpa2-tutorialdata python-mvpa2-doc  

NB you might need to enable http://neuro.debian.net repository if you
haven't yet

and just type

    pymvpa2-tutorial --use-notebook

and see what happens ;)

Data under /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mvpa2/data/  is just for
testing, not sufficient for tutorials
