By some cosmic coincidence I ran into this just a couple of 
hours ago :o

If you have your HOME environmental variable set it to e.g.
d:\HOME\PETE it will try open the url: 'd:\HOME\PETE\.grail\something'
and then exit when it does not support the protocol 'd' (it should be
using an url like 'file:/D|/HOME/PETE/.grail/something')

A quick fix is to remove your HOME setting from your environment.
