I can confirm that behaviour. The manpage tells us to use tf-tool --add-user 
though it is patched out. It is supposed to copy the bir-file to 
/etc/pam_thinkfinger/$USER.bir
This is easy to achieve: generate your thinkfinger.bir file with tf-tool 
--acquire and either hardlink it to /etc/pam_libthinkfinger/ or just leave it 
there.
Because the ubuntu README reads:

> To verify a fingerprint run 'tf-tool --verify'.  tf-tool will by default
> read a fingerprint image from ~/.thinkfinger.bir and compare that with the
> finger which is being swiped. You can override this location by passing
> the desired location as parameter.

A hint would be nice, that --add-user has been patched out.
