i had the same problem - i got around it doing 2 things - not sure if both are required or not

1 - remove the version.plist file from
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Resources/

and

2- using a hint on this page

http://forum.macosx.nl/viewtopic.php?t=15787

basically, you view the package contents of the installer and remove the script that checks the volume, as described below

There is a way to remove the installation checks for the installer but, since it is not supported, I am afraid that you will have to use it at your own risks. Would you want to try it, here are the steps :

1. Copy the installer to your desktop
2. Control-click on the installer package and select "Show package contents"
3. Open the "Contents" and "Resources" folders
4. Locate the "VolumeCheck" file and click on it once
5. Enter Apple-I. In the window that appears, select "Permissions" and make sure that both the owner and the group are set to your username.
6. Close the get info window and drag the script to the trash.
7. Launch the installer

This should force the installer to work. However, note that I have been able to run it without any issues on a configuration similar to yours, by downloading it from the Apple site -- I just tried again.

Again, this is not a supported procedure...

Let me know if this helps !
