Right. Further information, and a solution!

I'm running Gentoo Linux and Batik 1.6. Gentoo uses a wrapper script to add 
the classpath correctly (the CLASSPATH variable is ignored when you use -jar 
on the command line). Thus you need to modify tilesGen.pl:

--- tilesGen.pl (revision 5507)
+++ tilesGen.pl (working copy)

         my $Width = $X2 - $X1;
         my $Height = $Y2 - $Y1;

-        $Config{BatikPath},
         $SizeX,
         $SizeY,
         $Left,$Top,$Width,$Height,

Note: This is rather a hack, as I've hardcoded the Batik path, but it works 
for me (TM). :-)
