Problem programming CPLD with multiple devices in the JTAG chain, error 209055

[Altera_Forum]

I'm having a problem getting my Altera CPLD (EPM2210) to program using the Quartus II Programmer. My JTAG chain has four devices in it, three Xilinx FPGAs and the Altera CPLD. I've imported the BSDL files for the Xilinx parts and the programmer successfully detected the chain. I assign the .jam file I want to program the CPLD with to the CPLD. All the other devices show "<none>" in the File column. When I hit "Start", it immediately says "(Failed)" in the progress bar. In the Quartus II System tab, it gives the error "209055 Multiple files specified in Programmer". I'm using a usb-blaster. 

 I looked into using the command line tool "quartus_jli" but I didn't see an option to specify which device in the chain I wanted to program.  Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not specifically aware of this problem - I hope you've found this:

Do you not have a .pof file you can use? I've definitely had success with mixed Altera/Xilinx JTAG chains using those.
