Ah-hah! I found the problem! Apparently, if you try to unset an environment variable that's not set, 2k and 2k3 return an error. I added a line setting JAVA_HOME in the setenv file and then when I set JAVA_HOME to nothing, I don't get the error. So now I just need to have it check if JAVA_HOME is actually set before calling set JAVA_HOME=
Well, that's some good news. I wonder why it's different than the way XP works. Thanks to everyone who responded.
