Maybe your jamfile has the wrong file terminator? (i.e., bjam expects
DOS end-of-line but get Unix ones, or vice versa.) Did you download the
Boost tarball and untar it from Cygwin, or a Boost zip archive and
unzip it from Windows? It might make a difference when EOLs are
concerned.
Another possibility might be to compile bjam yourself---the sources are
in the Boost distribution, and instructions are on the site.
And of course, yet another possibility is to ask on the Boost mailing
list :)
Later,
