The optional.jar has been replaced with ant-xyz.jars (xyz stands for the external lib/jar) in 1.6.1. So I reckon you dont need the optional.jar in 1.6.1. Instead add two more jars to it. They are commons-net-1.1.0.jar(1.2.0 is the latest)and jakart-oro-2.0.8.jar. Then try out. You can find the jar binaries at http://jakarta.apache.org/site/binindex.cgi
