What is the complete output of java -version? Do you have the 'jdkgcj' 
package installed?
$ which java
/usr/bin/java

$ java -version
java version "1.3.1"
jdkgcj 0.2.3 (http://www.arklinux.org/projects/jdkgcj)

$ /usr/java/j2re1.4.1/bin/java -version
java version "1.4.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1-b21)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1-b21, mixed mode)

Does that path exist on your machine?

I believe the link should be:
libjavaplugin_oji.so -> 
/usr/java/j2re1.4.1/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so

It has to be linked. If the above path is correct, then:
(all on one line)
ln -s ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.1/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so 
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
