Subsonic can't find LAME?

I'm running Subsonic under tomcat, and can successfully stream .mp3 files, but encounter a problem when attempting to transcode from .mp4-->mp3. I think this is due to Subsonic not being able to use LAME; I still get the

"Notice: LAME does not seem to be installed.
Click Help button for more information."

message, even though I do have LAME installed. I have successfully transcoded the test files that came with LAME via the command line, and have access to LAME from any directory, so far as I can tell...

The subsonic log shows faad moving through its processes, but I only get one line for LAME before the conversion abruptly stops without explanation.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

make sure the directory that lame is in is also in the system path:
