How about "deny"?  I've just downloaded rc2, gone to the relevent
directory, and here is my output:

D:\boost_1_34_1\tools\jam\src>.\build.bat
Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 x86 tools.

### Using 'vc8' toolset.

Works for me.  I'm using Visual Studio 2005 WITHOUT service pack 1.  I
have VS installed to C:\Program Files\.  I'm running Windows XP SP2.  My
environment contains:

(I've removed some details of our internal network structure). Any more
information that could help track this down?
