Valerie, My issue was actually using "System.setProperties(Properties properties)" in my code as this clobbers all existing system properties in your current JVM. The solution was to set each specific property I needed using "System. setPropertie(String name, String value)" as this doesn't clobber other values.

I will happily look at any errors If you supply them but a quick note: FILEMGR_HOME may not be set is this environment variable defined in your?
