Yep, I found this one too.
The following patch to taskdefs/Ant.java fixes the problem (though there may
be better fixes - I'm an ant newbie ;-)
To summarize the problem:
<ant antFile="/home/someuser/build.xml" .... />
or
<ant antFile="${some_dir}/build.xml" .... />
The above ant tasks generate bad antFile paths, because the path is
absolute. Currently,
only relative paths work, eg "antFile="../mybuildfile.cml" works ok.
