Launching process from shell is fine, doesn't work with ProcessBuilder - scala

Question

I am playing around with Scala's ProcessBuilder and I am trying to launch the bitcoin-cli from Scala.
This works fine from the shell and the command to execute it is simply bitcoin-cli
However if I try and launch it from the scala REPL I get an error:
chris#chris:~$ scala

Why does this error out?
