random forest question

Hi,

here are three results of random forest (version 4.0-1).
The results seem to be more or less the same which is strange because I
changed the classwt. 
I hoped that for example classwt=c(0.45,0.1,0.45) would result in fewer
cases classified as class 2. Did I understand something wrong?

x1rf <- randomForest(x=as.data.frame(mfilters[cvtrain,]),
                     y=as.factor(traingroups),

                     ytest=as.factor(testgroups))
