Just to elaborate, Usergrid uses Spring framework and loads a Spring
applicationContext.xml file at startup (actually, there are several spring
app context xml files in the project, the one in your case is probably
usergrid-standalone-context.xml).  The applicationContext.xml file uses a
number of Spring XML namespaces, which is pretty standard in the way Spring
is used.  The problem is that the XML parser validates these namespaces and
appears to make internet requests as part of that process.  It appears that
this is failing when there is no internet connection.  It looks like this
is similar to this -
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1729307/spring-schemalocation-fails-when-there-is-no-internet-connection.
 From reading the stack overflow responses, it does appear that this might
be worked around by making some changes to the applicationContext.xml and
we'll look at doing that.
