Hi Michael,
What happens if you download a fresh copy of the binary distribution:
http://www.apache.org/dist/xml/batik/batik-1.5.1.zip
unzip it:
unzip batik-1.5.1.zip
cd into the created directory:
cd batik-1.5.1
and run the exec as the rasterizier pages suggests:
java -jar batik-rasterizer.jar samples/batikFX.svg
Don't move anything around, don't try and replace xerces just run the distribution as given. Does that work? I will be very surprised if it doesn't.
I'm 99% certain that the problem you are experiencing is caused by swapping the Xerces library incorrectly. This is roughly equivalent to trying to swap a DLL on an exec, it can be done but you need to know what you are doing.
If you really want to muck with the libraries you will find it easier to work with the source distribution, where it is much easier to modify the classpath used. Or as I already said don't use '-jar', use '-cp' and specify the class who's main you want to use.

I am an experienced java developer, but I don't know everything. In particular, I don't know how to get this product running. I download products and libraries frequently; 99% of them can be started by following the directions. A product should "want" to be installed, not require seaching forums, shuffling files, scratching one's head, etc. So I give up, because I still don't know how to run this product.
