RUNJVA gives me class not found problem, while QSH command is fine.

Getting a class not found error for a class that is clearly contained in a
.jar file (log4j-1.2.16.jar)

Offending CL command:

RUNJVA
CLASS(Balancer.jar)
PARM('--startcode' '99406' '--midnight' '--loglevel' 'debug'
'--limitsfile' 'DFCAVAILPT' '--logname'
'/home/dfcuser/Balancer_99406_QA_T.log')

CLASSPATH('.:/home/quikq/1.0/dev/log4j-1.2.16.jar:/QIBM/ProdData/OS400/jt400/lib/jt400Native.jar:/QIBM/ProdData/Java400/ext/db2_classes.jar:/home/quikq/1.0/dev/jargs.jar:/home/dfcuser/Balancer.jar')

PROP((liblist.usr 'DF99406,DE99406,DFROOT,DOROOT')) OPTION(*VERBOSE)
JOB(*GEN)

Gives me

This works just fine. Same thing in my book.

java -Dliblist.usr=DF99406,DE99406,DFROOT,DOROOT -cp
/home/quikq/1.0/dev/log4j-1.2.16.jar:/QIBM/ProdData/OS400/jt400/lib/jt400Native.jar:/QIBM/ProdData/Java400/ext/db2_classes.jar:/home/quikq/1.0/dev/jargs.jar:/home/dfcuser/Balancer.jar
Balancer --startcode 99406 --midnight --loglevel debug --limitsfile
DFCAVAILPT --logname /home/dfcuser/Balancer_99406_QA_T.log

Just trying to understand WTH I'm doing wrong with the RUNJVA. Thanks!
