I've had this problem before when just using jar to create zip files.
Have a look at:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4306807.html
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4412571.html
The first is an old bug with 1.1.6 but the eval says it's been verified against
1.3.
The second is a complaint that the jar implementation does not match that of a
proper zip file.
thanks,
