The jar you can download from jruby.org seems fine, but the one that I get from the torquebox.org, or saumya.de repo has rake.bat, but not plain old rake.
There was a jruby issue about this recently, but it seems to have been fixed: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-4530
Perhaps the "old" artifact has stuck around in the repositories.
The outcome is that the using the rails3 plugin to run rake tasks doesn't work with this jar.

The easy workaround is just to upgrade to 1.6.7, but this still is a nasty surprise to anybody who ends up w/ 1.6.6
