For future reference:

Say the dll you need is in Y:\path\to\dlls\lib\. Then set your Run Configuration's working directory to Y:\path\to\dlls\ and set your VM arguments to include -Djava.library.path=lib.

Perhaps it's something peculiar to the specific library I'm using (or that Eclipse is running from a different drive than the library is on)...
