Simple non-pig sanity check: Are you sure that the shell you're using to launch your pig script isn't trying to do its own wildcard expansion on your parameter before passing it to pig? (A good sign of this happening would be that the input path mentioned in pig's error messages won't be the same as the input path you've pasted here).
