Check whether you got spaces in the path name of .jar. I just encountered this same problem, upgraded to ProGuard 4.6 and got more information in the error message but the problem persisted. Then I figured maybe it was because of spaces in my path name, I replaced all space characters in the path name to "-", ProGuard worked again like a charm :)
