This is an ant issue. It looks like your classpath isn't right.
Try editing the ant bash script and add an
echo LOCALCLASSPATH is $LOCALCLASSPATH
right before it executes this line:
"$JAVACMD" $ANT_OPTS -classpath "$LOCALCLASSPATH"
-Dant.home="${ANT_HOME}" org.apache.tools.ant.Main $ANT_ARGS "$@"
If you're running cygwin under windows , try the ant.bat script instead.
Googling the error message suggests that this may be an ant 1.6 issue.

Do you have a java programmer/configurerer available on your project? This
may help getting ANT configured. Knowledge of ant isn't required once you
get configured, but it may make it sipmler.
Once webtest is up and running, knowledge of your application, html, and
some xml is all-it-takes.

I thought this was good, but it may presuppose familiarity w/ Ant.
