Mistake, I think.

The file needs to go into wherever latex looks for input files, which
is typically governed by TEXINPUTS.latex in texmf.cnf.

Most likely, you will need to put your input files into

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/tex/latex/

or a subdirectory thereof.

(And you don't need to install the .aux and .log files from the
installation runs.  Not the .dtx either, though it may be handy to
store it with the .cls file in case you need to format the docs later.)
