How exactly did you build these files, the build doesn't compile these 
classes in place (in the src directory), so normally setting this 
classpath won't work.  I did a build of DITA-OT1.0 (both beta and 1.0) 
and how I did a build was:
(The following mkdir's were done so the ant build didn't fail)
mkdir lib
mkdir out
mkdir out/doc
mkdir out/doc/articles
mkdir build
ant build
ant -f buildPackage.xml
 this command puts in the build directory:
 DITA-OT1.0_bin.tar.gz  and DITA-OT1.0_bin.zip
I did a build with the source built above and it worked without 
unzipping DITA-OT1.0 (although xerces failed (not related to your error)).
But the build also filled in the lib directory.

I hand compiled the dita src/ files in question, and set the classpath 
to DITA-OT1.0/src without building the package, it worked up to my failure.

Are you using cygwin?  I haven't tried a build with this, and it does 
map in /opt/.  I couldn't get to your error without adding the xerces 
build to fix the buffer under x86linux, and didn't get failure the way I 
think you have your build setup.  Which makes me wonder if you are using 
cygwin and the character mappings might be doing something else strange?

Also, what did you use to compile the DITA sources?

thanks,
scott
