I couldn't get the same-host sstableloader to work either. But it's easier to 
use the JMX bulk-load hook that's built
into Cassandra anyway. The following is what I implemented to do this:

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

import javax.management.JMX;
import javax.management.MBeanServerConnection;
import javax.management.MalformedObjectNameException;
import javax.management.ObjectName;
import javax.management.remote.JMXConnector;
import javax.management.remote.JMXConnectorFactory;
import javax.management.remote.JMXServiceURL;

import org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageServiceMBean;

public class JmxBulkLoader {

    private JMXConnector connector;
    private StorageServiceMBean storageBean;

    public JmxBulkLoader(String host, int port) throws Exception
    {
        connect(host, port);
    }

    private void connect(String host, int port) throws IOException, 
MalformedObjectNameException
    {
        JMXServiceURL jmxUrl = new 
JMXServiceURL(String.format("service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://%s:%d/jmxrmi", host, 
port));
        Map<String,Object> env = new HashMap<String,Object>();
        connector = JMXConnectorFactory.connect(jmxUrl, env);
        MBeanServerConnection mbeanServerConn = 
connector.getMBeanServerConnection();
        ObjectName name = new 
ObjectName("org.apache.cassandra.db:type=StorageService");
        storageBean = JMX.newMBeanProxy(mbeanServerConn, name, 
StorageServiceMBean.class);
    }

    public void close() throws IOException
    {
        connector.close();
    }
    
    public void bulkLoad(String path) {
        storageBean.bulkLoad(path);
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        if (args.length == 0) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("usage: paths to bulk files");
        }
        JmxBulkLoader np = new JmxBulkLoader("localhost", 7199);
        for (String arg : args) {
            np.bulkLoad(arg);
        }
        np.close();
    }
}
