Opened as an issue:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-5329

Looks like we are passing --1.9 through to point in our bash script
where we think the arg is a file...which it isn't...

You can work around this by setting the environment variable
JRUBY_OPTS="--1.9"  (e.g. JRUBY_OPTS="--1.9" jruby /c/heh.rb).

We plan on fixing this for RC2.
