This is probably your mistake here.  Despite the similar names, 
CLASSPATH does not work like the PATH environment variables in Unix. 
You have to set the classpath to the actual name of the Jar file you 
want to use, or use a '*' as the final element of the class path to use 
all Jar files in a directory.  Doing neither of those, like you have, 
actually looks for 'lose' .class files in the file hierarchy.

export 
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/apache-ant-1.9.1/etc/*:/usr/local/apache-ant-1.9.1/lib/*

or

export 
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/apache-ant-1.9.1/etc/some-ant.jar:/usr/local/apache-ant-1.9.1/lib/another.jar
