This is telling. It doesn't properly execute the cmd.exe shell. Maybe you 
have to configure the shell setup somehow to make it accept MS's cmd.exe? 
Note that cmd.exe isn't really what I'd call a "shell", so you may have to 
put some work into getting it to run your scripts.

You can also try to add a shebang "#!cmd.exe" to the script, it seems like 
Hudson interprets that by itself. Or execute nosetest from a Python script, 
just check what the nosetest main script is doing and do the same in a 
Python script.

Disclaimer: I never used Hudson on MS Windows, and I'm happy I don't have to.
