[Boost-build] Response file woes in Windows

I'm finally trying to learn how to use bjam, but it's not working.

I'm using:
Windows XP
VC++ Express 2005
Boost Build V2 (Milestone 10) (as reported by "bjam --version")
Boost.Jam 03.1.12 (as reported by "bjam --version")

(Everything was downloaded using CVS from the boost repository on 
sourceforge. I compiled bjam using the VC++ compiler)

I added the line

using msvc : 8.0 ;

to the file user-config.jam

Now I do the following:
1) Open up vsvars32.bat
2) Chdir to boost/tools/build/v2/example/hello
3) Run "bjam --v2" (the "--v2" is not needed, right?)

The resulting output is shown below. Note that the file 
"bin\msvc-8.0\debug\hello.obj.rsp" does in fact exist after running bjam.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
