Any ideas why there's an UnsatisfiedLinkError only under sbt?

As @juereth commented:

Sbt is using magic classloaders to try to prevent "leaks" of native loaded libraries, and allow you to re-import the library multiple times. Sbt will actually rename the DLL/SO/jnilib and load it in a special classloader. I'm not positive if this is only a plugin feature, or something for all apps.

So this is somewhat expected behavior with the current design of sbt. If forking works, then that's what you have to do.
