I believe that the startNetworkServer command uses an environment variable DERBY_OPTS to hold additional properties. Try setting DERBY_OPTS=*-D* derby.system.home=/greenWorldDB and running the command again (without the -derby.system.home part).
Also, note the -D in front of the property name, as that is a Java system property. Hope that helps...
