I am not very i literate, but somewhat moreso with Java. You must specify each of the jar files separately in your CLASSPATH. E.g.

export -s CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH}:/home/FOXWELL/java/jars/POI-3.0.1-FINAL-20070705.JAR:\
/home/FOXWELL/java/jars/POI-CONTRIB-3.0.1-FINAL-20070705.JAR:\
/home/FOXWELL/java/jars/POI-SCRATCHPAD-3.0.1-FINAL-20070705.JAR
