Okay, even though CreateInterface doesn't know that everything under 
org.freedesktop.DBus is provided by the binding, I do (now that you told 
me).  I simply delete the org.freedesktopDBus files created by 
CreateInterface.  The compiler doesn't complain that anything is missing 
and everything works.  Cool.  :)

Okay, this was my fault.  My build environment had hardcoded the path to 
the 1.5 version of dbus.jar.  So I was running the 1.5 jar file with the 
1.6 JNI library.  After I fixed that, everything worked correctly.  I'll 
try not to do stupid things anymore.  :(
