Steve, Instead of using the command line, I run the JNLP agent using the "Launch" button on the Node page. My steps are:
1. Get on the desktop of the slave machine. 2. Open a browser and browse to my Jenkins master. 3. Click on Manage Nodes and then the link for the slave (if I've already set it up). 4. On the slave page click on the Launch button (see screenshot link: http://note.io/18WJNlS) 5. Click on File | Install as a service Does that help?
