Maybe the class "ClassName" is on the classpath on your "local
machines". CruiseControl might be running as a service. If CruiseControl
is running as a service with a default Service User, then the
environment variables inside CruiseControl may not contain your usual
CLASSPATH.

If this is the problem, then you should fix your build to make it
independent of the CLASSPATH environment variable, because it is bad
practice to have build files depend upon environment variables.

Is the missing class a class of Flex ? Is the missing class used in an
ant taskdef ?

You might be doing a better job to ask this particular question on the
ant user list user at ant.apache.org rather than on the
cruisecontrol-user list because it is not really a cruisecontrol problem.
