I had this problem with a JAR, and the only solution I found was to unpack
the JAR into a directory, and then add that directory to the CF classpath.
Certainly not ideal, but after blowing a day fighting, it was good enough.

Sean had some insight as to why this was happening, but I didn't really
understand what it was.  If you're interested, I can dig up his email and
shoot it to you.
