Duh. That certainly looks like it would be the problem. It had to be something pretty
gross and stupid. That will lead me to a better place on deployment. I'll deploy a derby
.jar alongside mine and reference it there instead of being dependent on some separate installation.
Thank you all for your patience and kind attention. Sorry to have bothered you.

That agrees with the description of "java -jar" here:
http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/windows/java.html
The jar file manifest needs to have a Class-Path attribute which lists
the whole classpath for the application. See
http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/jar/downman.html
Hope this helps,
