Does the account the scheduled job runs under have the necessary permissions? — aphoria
What class does it not find? If it can't find the "main" class, that means it cannot load a particular class referenced by that class (possibly including itself). You need to add all necessary references to your classpath so it can find them. — Chris Aldrich

The account that runs the batch does not seem to have its PATH configured properly. Can you add:

echo %DATE% %TIME%: %PATH% >> %TMP%\DebugFile.txt

to see that the value in path.
