My colleague spent a good few hours tracking the cause of this message. Since Google didn't turn up much and being a good citizen, I'm posting a solution here in case anyone comes up against it. 

It turned out to be simply down to the fact that the path to the workspace/project had spaces in it. I.e. a new project was created under the default Eclipse workspace location on Windows - C:\Documents and Settings\\workspace. Some part of the embedded EJB startup didn't like this fact and threw the rather cryptic exception. 

Moving the workspace/project to a location with no spaces (e.g. C:/seam-workspace) resolved the issue. 

Hope this helps, 

Chris.
