Trouble with RequireJS optimizer config, bbb release

Question

I'm using RequireJS, backbone boilerplate with layout manager, JamJS to help manage packages, and everything works fine in development, but when I try to create a production version with concatenated files it doesn't work.

It looks like the shim in my config might not be getting loaded. For example, the error I get in my console is Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'cookie' of undefined, so jQuery is not getting loaded as a dependency for the jquery.cookie. Here's my app config:

// Set the require.js configuration for your application.
require.config({

  // Initialize the application with the main application file and the JamJS
  // generated configuration file.
  deps: ["../vendor/jam/require.config", "main"],

  paths: {
    baseUrl : '/',
    config : "config",

    // JavaScript folders.
    api : "libs/api",
    app : "app",

    // Libraries.

    "utilities" : {
        deps : ["lodash", "jquery", "val"]

    "val" : {

    "valmethods" : { 
        deps: ["jquery", "val"]

    "jqgrid" : {
        deps : ["jquery", "jqgridsource"]
    },

    "jqgridsource" : {
        deps : ["jquery"]
    },

    "bootstrap" : {
        deps : ["jquery"]
    }
  }

});

Here's how I load up my require.js file:

<script data-main="/app/config" src="/dist/debug/require.js"></script>

Any ideas on what might be going on? When I use bbb release, everything completes without an error to create that debug file.

I have some suggestions, this might sound stupid, but since I don't have my hands on the file guessing is the best I can do, so, make sure that there is no: define(["jquery"], ..... in your jquery-cookie file, because you should either include it in shim or with this define but not both because it may cause a conflict. if it worked let me know to add an explanation of why this happened, best of luck.
