No it is still in sandbox

My user_config has this - and a "note to self" comment on copying
auto-index.jam

Is this your problem?

#I:\boost-sandbox\tools\auto_index\build
using auto-index
  :
  "I:/boost-sandbox/tools/auto_index/build/auto_index.exe"
  ;

# I:\boost-sandbox\tools\auto_index\auto-index.jam
# Must copy this manually for each Boost release to tools/build/v2, for
example to
# I:\boost_1_41_0\tools\build\v2
# I:\boost_1_42_0\tools\build\v2 ...
# Or bjam build will fail complaing of missing auto-index.jam
