I get the same error on Windows (maybe de same solution works on Linux) because I have spaces on file names. If it is your case, protect the entire path of file directory with quotation marks.

For example:

"C:\Program Files\Pentaho Data Integration - Kettle 6.1.0.1\kitchen.bat" /file:"C:/Users/Username/Documents/Pentaho Projects/Job - System Integration.kjb" /level:Basic

Another important thing is to follow the instruction given by a_horse_with_no_name (funny username by the way) using slash.

Avoid the backslash instruction as given in the kitchen documentation (http://wiki.pentaho.com/display/EAI/Kitchen+User+Documentation) on its example: kitchen.bat /file:D:\Jobs\updateWarehouse.kjb /level:Basic

The most common mistake that the begginers do (I am included) is to use "\" to give the path of the transformation or the job. Replace it by "/".
