The .class files must be in a directory named after the package. So class abc.xyz.Foo must be in a abc/xyz directory, and you must have in your classpath the directory where abc/xyz can be found. For example, if you have /people/woodchuck/dependencies/classes/abc/xyz/Foo.class, you should have /people/woodchuck/dependencies/classes in your classpath. Assuming your build.xml is in /people/woodchuck, use <pathelement location="dependencies/classes" /> in your <classpath>.
