--driver-class-path does not move jars, so it is dependent on your Spark resource manager (master). It is interpreted literally so if your files do not exist in the location you provide relative where the driver is run, they will not be placed on the classpath.
Since the driver is responsible for moving jars specified in --jars, you cannot use a jar specified by --jars to be in driver-class-path, since the driver is already started and it's classpath is already set before any jars are moved. Some distributions may change this behavior though, but this is the jist of it.
