There is a bug in Boost.Build+BJam that prevents it from handling paths 
with spaces in them for the location of tool executables. This is 
already fixed in the CVS version but alas that won't help you ;-)

If you are willing to rearrange your installation you can get it to work 
by installing the Dev-Cpp tools to someplace like "C:\Dev-Cpp"

HTH.
