Comment(by toby.matejovsky@…):

 I had the same problem on OS X 10.6.4 GNU bash, version 3.2.48(1)-release
 (x86_64-apple-darwin10.0)

 The 0.7.4 jar file from MacPorts is the exact same one as from the Google
 Code page (sha1: 2b7cfadf05b3b26285bb2038145479741268d334).

 The problem is something with the $QUOTED_ARGS in the sbt script. If you
 remove that part and substitute "$@" (with quotes) for $QUOTED_ARGS (as
 recommended in the SBT project page), the sbt script works.  Patch:

 {{{
 #!diff
 20,26d19
 < # Capture any arguments
 < QUOTED_ARGS=""
 < while [ "$1" != "" ] ; do
 <       QUOTED_ARGS="$QUOTED_ARGS \"$1\""
 <       shift
 < done
 <
 33c26
 < exec java $JAVA_OPTS -jar "$LAUNCHJAR" $QUOTED_ARGS
 ---
...
exec java $JAVA_OPTS -jar "$LAUNCHJAR" "$@"
 }}}
