I had a similar problem a while back due to my running emacs under 
Cygwin while JRE is actually a native Windows app.  Thus, the Windows 
JRE doesn't understand the jarfile path.  I had to hack 
org-exp-blocks.el to use cygwin-path-to-windows in a few places.  Of 
course, my issue could be completely unrelated, but without more 
information about your setup we're all flying blind.
