I think I ran into something similar a little while ago. I'm not a windows person and was reminded why when trying to get it to work. I believe it's a permission problem and not a problem with Stardog. You'll need to run it as an admin user. The user I tried running it as had admin permissions but it didn't work. I think I tried the "run as" command and that didn't work either. If I remember correctly I created a short-cut and then you could change the user it runs as under the properties on the short cut and that worked.
