I had a variety of that problem recently too.  It was what was keeping the 
VC++6 regressions from working for a long time.

IIRC, the toolsets invoke vcvars32.bat automatically.  But vcvars32.bat is 
sometimes generated using the short form of directory names. Then some 
subsequent install activity is invalidating those names.  I fixed the 
problem by hand editing vcvars32.bat to use the full, long, names.
