... (But does classpath default to /usr/lpp/smp/classes, in which case I should be OK.)
Yes, if SMPCPATH is not specified (nor classpath in <CLIENT>) then SMP/E uses a default classpath of /usr/lpp/smp/classes. See the SMP/E Reference: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.gim2000/dspath.htm
By the way, if you specify a javadebugoptions value in <CLIENT>, then SMP/E will echo to SYSPRINT the java command used, which includes the classpath specification. javadebugoptions="-Dcom.ibm.smp.debug=severe" is good for most occasions.
