Nope, just today I saw someone report the same problem in a blog comment:
http://popey.com/blog/2013/09/02/fun-with-btrfs-on-ubuntu/#comment-9704
-------
# umount /dev/sdb1
# fsck -f /dev/sdb1
fsck из util-linux 2.20.1
e2fsck 1.42.8 (20-Jun-2013)
data500: 144653/30531584 files (0.9% non-contiguous), 102659367/122096384
blocks
# btrfs-convert /dev/sdb1
No valid Btrfs found on /dev/sdb1
unable to open ctree
conversion aborted.
Ubuntu 13.10
btrfs-tools 0.19+20130705-1
-------
It looks like a bug in btrfs-convert.
