Issue with Windows Start script for a Grails project

I have been working on resolving a few issues. While running gradle assemble on a Grails project I have been attempting to use the .zip distribution generated from the application plugin. The first issue is that the CLASSPATH property is too long so I shortened it to be %APP_HOME%\lib*. That seemed to fix my issue with the CLASSPATH property being too long. However, when the app is running it seems to not find any of the applications styles, or other gsp pages. I am able to get to my login page but any other page it throws a 500 error. On *nix it runs just fine and I don’t have any issue. But on windows it seems like it’s just really really buggy. Is this a known issue? Are there workarounds?
