Narrative:

Cga X requested to taxi from FBO. I issued 'runway 22L. Taxi via 'west,' 'north' hold short of runway 31C.' the pilot didn't readback any of the clearance, but did start to taxi. I monitored the progress of cga X as it taxied via the route issued. Runway 31C was active with landing and departing air carrier aircraft. As cga X approached the departure end of runway 31C, I again issued instructions to 'hold short of runway 31C,' to which cga X again did not acknowledge. I once again issued the instructions for cga X to hold short of runway 31C. This time the pilot replied 'cga X holding.' by this time, cga X was already on runway 31C as air carrier Y, an medium large transport, was in the landing rollout. Cga X stopped in the intersection of runway 31C and 22R. Supplemental information from acn 236325: we were given a runway change to runway 22L via west and north. I acknowledged the new instructions, but did not hear, nor did other crew member, hold short instructions for runway 31C. Subsequent conversation with the tower supervisor revealed that the tapes showed these instructions were given! If they were given, neither of us in the cockpit heard it and neither of us remember the ground controller asking us to confirm the hold short instructions. Mentally, we were ready to taxi all the way to 22L.
