Javac = "cannot find symbol" when compiling class referencing other classes

Question

I have several Java files in a directory which is declared as a package at the start of the files
package filemanager;
This program works perfectly in an IDE, however I'm having problems with compiling in command line.
I have set the classpath as I understand to be right for my computer to:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02\bin
I can compile a class that references no other classes in this package/directory.
However files which reference other classes bring up such errors:
javac AllFiles.javaAllFiles.java:174: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable Bob
location : class filesmanager.AllFiles
Bob.getItem(itemRef);
Where Bob is an example of another class. Even though I can say, compile Bob on it's own as it doesnt have any such reference.
I've tried:
javac -cp "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02\bin" AllFiles.javaThis also failed.
Any ideas?

I've tried spoon_'s suggestion, but I'm still getting the error ("cannot find symbol"). Here is my code:
File Hello/Fred.java:
package Hello;
public class Fred
    public int age;
    public Fred()
        this.age = 1;
} // public class FredFile Hello/Hello.java:
package Hello;
public class Hello
    public static void main(String args[])
        Fred fred = new Fred();
        System.out.println("Fred is " + fred.age);
} // public class HelloAnd here is my attempt to compile Fred.java and Hello.java:
C:/Users/levner/programs[219]javac -cp c:\users\levner\programs\hello Hello\Fred.java
C:/Users/levner/programs[220]javac -cp c:\users\levner\programs\hello Hello\Hello.java
Hello\Hello.java:14: cannot find symbol
symbol  : class Fred
location: class Hello.Hello
        Fred fred = new Fred();
        ^
Hello\Hello.java:14: cannot find symbol
symbol  : class Fred
location: class Hello.Hello
        Fred fred = new Fred();
                        ^
2 errorsI am doing this work on a PC running Vista using javac 1.6.0_10. I've tried various combinations of upper and lower case names for the package and file names, and I always get the same errors.
Thanks in advance for your help. David
