Altera tech support gave me some pointers, and I was able to resolve the issue.

1. Made sure that SOPC include search is correct. This is defined in user_components.ipx file in /home/<user>/.altera.quartus/ip<revision>/ip_search_path/ directory (different on Windows machines)

2. Remove .sopc_builder/*.ptf files in the project directory. Those files contain absolute paths to compiled IPs that might not be valid if the project is built from another directory.

3. run nios2_command_shell.sh that sets up SOPC build environment

4. run sopc_builder --refresh --generate --debug_log=debug_log.txt <sopc_name>

Thanks,
