You can't nest properties like this, but is that what you want to do?
Seems to me you want something like:
<property name="result" value="${site_name}.deployment.dir"/>
And then you could have a properties file that defines all the
deployment directories for each site you're using:
site_1.deployment.dir=/site_1/dir
site_2.deployment.dir=/site_2/dir
and so on. Then when you want to deploy to 'site_2' for example, just
specify -Dsite_name=site_2 on the ant command line when running your
script.
