Thanks for the links, Stuart, although I managed to figure out what I was doing wrong: I didn't realize that the Java vararg type Object... mapped to a sequence in Clojure, so I wasn't properly calling 'invoke' in java.lang.reflect.Method.
Again, thanks for the links. I'm sure they'll be helpful in the future.
