OK, so I think I've solved this problem - the intructions provided don't mention that you need the google oauth client jar as well, adding that to my java classpath makes it all work. That's even despite the fact that I'm not using oauth authentication!
The requirement for this is mentioned in the installation document in the downloaded zip, but should probably be in the online instructions too...
