I had what might be a similar problem recently (brought up on IRC). I never
got around to tracking the problem down, but I did notice two things:

* If you copy your directories into the boost tree, the error goes away.
* If you delete the Jamfile.v2 from the base directory, the error goes away.
Note that I was using the version of Jamfile.v2 that comes from the boost
document root (verified).

I hope this info isn't *completely* irrelevant.
