Think of delete as having two "modes" of operation:
1. Delete files - is activated if you specifiy file as you do implicitely
with the fileset
2. Delete directory - if *only* dir="..." is specified.
Change your task to
<delete dir="test"/>
or
<delete dir="test/classes"/>
and it should work (I'm not really sure what you wish to delete - the first
one will delete everything under test, the second one everything unter
test/classes).
