maven error: can not create the java virtual machine

Hi,
I am a newbie to maven, this morning I followed maven install
documentation step by step and complete the maven install.

System:                       windows XP Professional sp2
Java Version:              jdk1.6.0_02
Maven Version:          2.2.0

at first installed, under command line, I can run: mvn --version, it
seems Ok, and output like:
Java home: D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02\jre
System os Windows Xp  and blablabla...  no error, no warn

However after a while, I change my command line path to another disk
F, and run mvn --version again, it appears imcompatible initial and
maximum heap sizes sepcified error.

I follew this mail:
http://www.nabble.com/Incompatible-initial-and-maximum-heap-sizes-specified-td23284917.html
then  changed my MAVEN_OPTS to this: "-Xms256m -Xmx256m"
run mvn --version again, then it output:
invalid initail heap size: -Xms256m -Xmx256m
can not create the java virtual machine

this is my environment variable setting, is there some wrong  in it?

======================================================================
System environment variable:
path  ------
 D:\Program Files\ActiveState Komodo Edit
5\;D:\Perl\site\bin;D:\Perl\bin;C:\windows\system32\;C:\windows;C:\windows\system32\Wbem;D:\Program

Path                                 %JAVA_HOME%\bin;%M2_HOME%\bin;
JAVA_HOME                 D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02
M2_HOME                      D:\Program Files\apache-maven-2.2.0
M2                                    %M2_HOME%\bin
MAVEN_OPTS               "-Xms256m -Xmx256m"

======================================================================

Should I go back to install old maven version as 2.1.0? I like to use
the latest version of software, and my classmate says it is not a good
habit, because the latest version means
unstable performance.

Who can give me some suggestion, please? Thanks a lot!

ps: please forgive my poor english vocabulary

Best regards!

Note the quotes around the value of MAVEN_OPTS! Try again after doing

set MAVEN_OPTS=-Xms256m -Xmx256m
