The first problem looks like you are licking up an old version of log4j. Make sure that your CLASSPATH environment variable is not set. (Yes, I mean *NOT* set.) The run script will set the necessary classpath. Also, make sure that you do not have any "endorsed" directories in your JVM. If this doesn't help, add "-verbose:class" to the JVM command line within run.bat. This option causes the JVM to print out the JAR file for every class loaded - that should help you locate the stray log4j jar file.
