That is usually caused by the command window not being opened or started from the same directory as adb is going to look for the files. Make sure you have all files in the correct place (i.e. tools or platform-tools folder?)

Thanks for the guide, jase33.

Dumb question: Once the device is rooted will it receive OTA updates when new Android versions come out, or is there some other procedure we should follow?

You wont be able to receive ota updares once rooted. However, if you flash a custom rom, such as team eos ics rom, they release updates every now and then that you can flash manually thru recovery.
