error when starting tomcat in win2000 pro

I have set up the required variables in order to run the startup.bat file and I get the following error when attempting to start it:

java org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tomcat/sta

rtup/Tomcat

I have modified my Startup.bat file as follows:

@echo off

SET TOMCAT_HOME="C:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3"

goto start

:start

call "%TOMCAT_HOME%\bin\tomcat" start %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

:eof

--

The classpath is set and working for jdk1.3.1

Can somebody please let me know what I am doing wrong?

Thank you
