require File.expand_path('dist/voldemort-0.81.jar', PATH_TO_VOLDEMORT)
Dir[File.expand_path('lib/*.jar', PATH_TO_VOLDEMORT)].each {|jar| require jar}

#include_package "org.jdom"

module VoldemortClient
  #include_package "voldemort.client"
  import 'voldemort.client.ClientConfig';
  import 'voldemort.client.SocketStoreClientFactory';
  import 'voldemort.client.StoreClient';
  import 'voldemort.client.StoreClientFactory';
  import 'voldemort.versioning.Versioned';

  # alternately, use the #import method
  import "voldemort.client"
end

Strangely, the same code gets me:

NameError: cannot link Java class voldemort.client.SocketStoreClientFactory, probable missing dependency: org/jdom/Content
from /Users/rjurney/jruby-1.5.1/lib/ruby/site_ruby/shared/builtin/javasupport/core_ext/module.rb:53:in import' from ./voldemort_client.rb:39 from ./voldemort_client.rb:2:inrequire'
from (irb):2

Does that mean we have a difference in environments or something?

it shouldn't be related with the environment. I'm also using a mac and I'm testing it with JRuby 1.5.1 and the development version and both work fine
