That worked better! It deleted all of the files in all of the CVS
directories throughout the project. However, it left the empty CVS
directories in place. Is it possible to delete the CVS directories also? BTW
- Thanks for the great response on this question! I do learn alot from this
list.

This is not what he wants to do. Use
<delete>
<fileset dir="base_dir" defaultexcludes="no">
<include name="**/CVS/**" />
</fileset>
</delete>
By default, there is a "**/CVS/**" excludes pattern associated with
every fileset (implicit or explicit). To do anything with CVS
dirs/files, you need to use the "defaultexcludes" attribute to turn off
this automatic exclude.
