bento start command fails with NoClassDefFoundError DNSCheckingTool

Question

I was trying out the tutorial in https://github.com/kijiproject/kiji-schema/blob/master/kiji-schema-cassandra/cassandra_tutorial.md but got stuck at the place where we start the bento box. 'bento start'

It gives the following error:

cygpath: cannot create short name of c:\276273\WorkingFolder\Cassandra\cassandra
-bento\kiji-bento-ebi\cluster\lib\hbase-0.94.6-cdh4.3.0\logs
