unterminated <jsp:forward

I am redirecting with:

<jsp:forward page="somepage.jsp">
<jsparam name="msg" value="<%=errorMsg%>"/>
</jsp:forward>

and am getting an "unterminated <jsp:forward" tag error.

I know without the jsparam tag I would end the jsp:forward tag as

<jsp:forward page="somepage.jsp"/>

I've tried "jsp:forward.../>" even using the param tag and it seems to work (getting another error now) but I thought that syntax was wrong.

I'm on NT 4.0 with IBM VisualAge for Java running Websphere Test Environment.

Any thoughts?

Problem fixed awhile back - IBM VAJ was set to run jsp 1.0 and parameters were not allowed (apparently) in jsp:forward commands until jsp 1.1
