Try:

bjam -sTOOLS=vc-8_0 --builddir=C:\temp --with-python-version=2.4 
--with-pydebug

Basically your quotes are all wrong. You should not need to run 
vcvars32.bat. And unless you install VC8 someplace strange, you don't 
need to mention where it is, it will be found automatically. And please 
be carefull with using the exact case for the above.
