One useful trick I forgot to mention in my previous post in debugging 
issues with Java/JNI issues, and .so dependencies in general, is the use 
of the ldd command

$ ldd /path/to/libtsk_jni.so

If you see 'unresolved' against any dependencies, it basically says that 
the runtime link/loader would not be able to load that .so, and your 
program would not run, which is what you are seeing.  You can see 
immediately the effects of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable in this respect, 
e.g.

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ldd /path/to/libtsk_jni.so

which would likely give a different output to the initial ldd 
invocation, subject to the libtsk.so file being in /usr/local/lib.
