Yeah, sounds like your not getting enough juice out of the battery. If you have one, hook up a battery charger with the 'start' feature, and see if it'll start. If not, charge the battery until it is holding the correct charge and try to start it. If it won't, then it must be something else.

Normally if a battery has enough power for the starter to engage and turn over the engine like normal, it has plenty of power to run the glowplugs or sparkplugs. I would guess you have a problem elsewhere.
It never hurts to try a battery charger or jumper pack first though.
