Narrative:

Our B737 commercial was told to 'taxi to runway 22.' this was read back and both me and my fellow pilot thought we heard these words on our (my) readback. In taxiing to runway 22, we needed to cross the end of runway 8. As our aircraft just barely crossed the hold line for runway 8, we saw a light commuter propeller aircraft on final and tower told us to 'hold short.' he then asked if we were 'over the line.' we said 'yes.' even though it was only a short amount over, the tower controller asked the light aircraft to go around. Tower then said that we were told to 'hold short of runway 8' in our clearance. Neither pilot could recall this. Contributing factors: cockpit training was being conducted, last day of a long 3 day sequence, low airport activity and slow tempo, and very late departure behind schedule.
