Jon,
Thanks for the response. Here are the relevant parts of the build.xml
file:
<property name="vss.path" value="\\Puccini\VSS\win32" />
<property name="project.path"
value="$/${ant.project.name}/current/implementation" />
<vsslabel vsspath="${project.path}"
ssdir="${vss.path}"
login="${vss.username},${vss.password}"
label="${build.label}" />
Underneath "implementation" are a number directories (e.g. source,
database, doc, etc.). When I run this task, only the "implementation"
directory gets a label. None of the files in this directory get a label
nor do any of the subdirectories or their files. I can't figure it out.
When I run ss.exe from the command line, it is the same thing.
Regards,
Dave

It certainly does it for me - I'm not sure there's really such a thing
as a recursive label in SourceSafe, they're *all* recursive as far as I
know.
How are you trying to do it? Are you only ending up getting the contents
of the top-level directory?
