The problem is that the tearoff option works at the level of the menu and
not the menu button (presumably since it is the menu which is 'torn off'). A
minor modification in your code should fix this, try:

def makefilemenu():
    filebtn = Menubutton(mbar, text='File')
    filebtn.pack(side=LEFT)
    filebtn.menu = Menu(filebtn, tearoff=0)

    ... (etc.)

need for making menu's and anything else Tk-wise- check it out at
