Duh... I guess I should have read it more thouroughly. Does your vacuum have the option to shut the brushroll off for hard floors? If it does, it seems like I have heard something about that mechanism going on the fritz and not working at all. It seems like it was something to do with the tabs on the end and their position. It looks to me like you could use a new set of brush strips as well.

It's not broken at all. The pic you posted has the brush bar in the bare floor position so that the belt will rotate but the brush roller will not. When you reinstall the brush roller, those little 'snakes teeth' go DOWN, and the hole for the linkage rod goes UP. Once in place, put the rug/floor selector in the Carpet position (it's the lever on top of the nozzle housing) and your problems will be solved. See the proper position of the linkage rod in the picture.
