I too am having a similar problem, here is my output;

c:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_34_1>bjam --with-regex stage msvc-9.0

I read through msvc.jam and there is no reference to v9. It appears to
default and the default settings don't work. I am also using the express
edition of v9.

Any help appreciated!
