[Boost-testing] problem with bjam or process_jam_log

I tried running tests for RC 1.33.1 at home. Because I do not have any 
of basic tools as bjam, process_jam_log etc, these were built from 
tarball (I used mingw toolset for that). But there is something wrong 
with them : bjam used build directory L:\boost (eg. all libraries, 
executables etc. went into boost\bin ) but process_jam_log tried (and 
failed) to create partial .xml results in L:\results\bin . Is there 
something wrong with recent versions of these files, or I forgot how to 
setup regression tests?

Here is what I did:

L:\>regression.py --runner=Bronek --tag=RC_1_33_0 --toolsets=vc-8_0

The version of bjam is:
Boost.Jam  Version 3.1.11. OS=NT.
