You weren't very specific with the things you have tried, so I don't know if you have tried the things mentioned here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19067287/freeduino-v0-1-avrdude-stk500-getsync-not-in-sync-resp-0x00

It's not for the Mintduino, but it's for a board using the same microprocessor that I assume you used based on the tutorial you linked.

I have tried flipping pins on the rx and tx lines,
I have tried different programmers and boards (arduino IDE), (currently AVRisp),
I have tried resinstalling different drivers.

I have been working on it for a day now so i think i tried some other stuff to but im not sure what.
