which version of jailkit are you using? the latest version should give 
you a bit more debugging information too see what exactly the client is 
trying to start.

it looks similar to winscp's shell fallback mode. if you don't select 
'sftp' winscp will give similar warnings, because it first tries to 
start a shell, and then from the shell tries to start a sftp-server if 
available.
