Jacob is imprisoned in that shack. The circle of ash (or whatever it is) is keeping him there. My guess is that Ben did this to him, which would explain why he is so upset that Locke can hear him. If Locke can hear him, Locke can help him escape. This would take power away from Ben. Ben wants to be the top dog, but this seriously threatens Ben's power over the others. Therefore Ben had to take Locke out of the picture.
