Xwork is a library which lies inside <FishEye Home Directory>\lib. The path to <FishEye Home Directory> contains blank spaces, and Fisheye fails to load this library. In the message above, the problem is happening while trying to save changes on a Crucible project, but you may be trying to do other things too (e.g., while editing SMTP config or updating JIRA server configuration in Fisheye).
Resolution
Shutdown Fisheye
Move
<FishEye Home Directory>to a path that does not contain any blank spacesStart Fisheye
