Any particular reason you are looking to build yet another routing solution?

As for osmosis, there needs to be some environmental variables put in place, are you calling it via the batch file? In my case shell script, but same thing...

./bin/osmosis --read-xml file='australia-oceania.osm.bz2' --bounding-box left=110 right=155 top=-10 bottom=-45 --apply-change --write-xml file='australia.osm.bz2'
