PowerMock Static method stubbing doesn't appear to work

I've done a bunch of googling and messing around with my code but in the end I can't seem to figure out why the static mocking isn't working with PowerMock and Mockito.

I am trying to mock the LogCommand class' on() method in the JavaHg Library http://ift.tt/17wkqbD which takes a javahg BaseRepository object as an argument and returns an instance of the LogCommand class. I want to have this return a mock log object so I can verify whether it's execute() command is called, but Mockito exceptions keep getting thrown.

Here's my code:

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(LogCommand.class)
public class MyRepositoryTest {

    private BaseRepository mockHgRepo;
    private MyRepository myRepository;

    @Before
    public void before() {
        mockHgRepo = mock(BaseRepository.class);
        PowerMockito.mockStatic(LogCommand.class);
    }

    @Test
    public void staticMockTest() throws IOException {
        LogCommand mockLogCommand = mock(LogCommand.class);
        when(LogCommand.on(any(BaseRepository.class))).thenReturn(mockLogCommand); // Problem Line!
        myRepository = new MyRepository(mockHgRepo);
    }
}

With this code I get stack trace:

org.mockito.exceptions.misusing.InvalidUseOfMatchersException: 
Misplaced argument matcher detected here:

-> at com.mycompany.repository.config.MyRepositoryTest.getNextTagNumberTest(MyRepositoryTest.java:39)

You cannot use argument matchers outside of verification or stubbing.
Examples of correct usage of argument matchers:
    when(mock.get(anyInt())).thenReturn(null);
    doThrow(new RuntimeException()).when(mock).someVoidMethod(anyObject());
    verify(mock).someMethod(contains("foo"))

Also, this error might show up because you use argument matchers with methods that cannot be mocked.
Following methods *cannot* be stubbed/verified: final/private/equals()/hashCode().

If I remove the matchers and use a BaseRepository object in the when instead of a matcher, it still throws an exception:

org.mockito.exceptions.misusing.MissingMethodInvocationException: 
when() requires an argument which has to be 'a method call on a mock'.
For example:
    when(mock.getArticles()).thenReturn(articles);

Also, this error might show up because:
1. you stub either of: final/private/equals()/hashCode() methods.
   Those methods *cannot* be stubbed/verified.
2. inside when() you don't call method on mock but on some other object.
3. the parent of the mocked class is not public.
   It is a limitation of the mock engine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated--thanks!
