Well as you guys were so adament I went and tested it again. You were right, my generatekey task didn't depend on init.

I haven't tried this myself with <genkey>, but its not special and couldn't bypass this phase even if it tried. Please post a trimmed down build file that demonstrates this bug, but I think you'll find that the problem is in a property name mismatch or misunderstanding somehow.
