The only solution I found was to create a batch file that takes the
clientname and calls p4 

i.e. mkClient.bat

p4 -c%1 client -i<%2

and takes the client name and description from ant.

i.e.

        <target name="create_tmp_client">
                <mkdir dir="${logs}"/>
                <copy file="${Misc.Files}\default.client"
tofile="${logs}\p4client" overwrite="yes"/>
                <replace file="${logs}\p4client" token="@Perforce.Client@"
value="ant-${user.name}-${host.name}"/>
                <replace file="${logs}\p4client" token="@Perforce.Root@"
value="${basedir}"/>
                <replace file="${logs}\p4client" token="@User.Name@"
value="ant-${user.name}"/>
                <exec dir="${basedir}" executable="p4.exe"
output="${logs}\p4clientcreate.txt">
                        <arg line="-c$ant-${user.name}-${host.name} client
-o"/>
                </exec>
                <exec dir="${basedir}"
executable="${Misc.Files}\mkClient.bat" output="${logs}\p4clientmodify.txt">
                        <arg value="$ant-${user.name}-${host.name}"/>
                        <arg value="${logs}\p4client"/>
                </exec>
        </target>
