Heya!
Hot on the heels of 0.10.0 I shipped riak-js 0.10.1 over the weekend, which
fixes a bug in the protobuffs code.
More importantly though, it now sports connection pooling/load balancing for
HTTP connections by way of the poolee library, courtesy of Andrew J. Stone.

the most likely reason is that the JavaScript file is not properly accessible

Have you checked that the file is properly distributed throughout the cluster
and js_source_dir is set accordingly, and Riak is restarted on all nodes?
