That's because on Windows, it's ant.bat, not ant. If you really want to
exec ant instead of doing an <ant>, you can specify the value for
"executable" as a property (eg., ${antcmd}), then set that property
according to the OS (various ways to do that).

This should work. What error do you get? What happens if you point "dir"
to dir="${basedir}/content"? (You shouldn't have to, but if even that
doesn't work, then it could help you figure out why just giving the subdir
name doesn't either.) BTW: If the file you're <ant>'ing to is called
build.xml, you don't need to specify "antfile" -- only if it's something
other than that (just FYI).
