Or you could just nest your message under <fail>, instead of trying to
stick it all in the 'message' attribute:

    <fail unless="user_validated">
    ERROR: Invalid user running this script =&gt; ${user.name}
    The userid running this script must match the envirnoment variable,
    APPL_USER_ID =&gt; ${APPL_USER_ID}
    This environment variable is specified at the start of main in this
    script.
    </fail>
    <fail unless="rel_dir_validated">
    ERROR: Release already exists. Please remove directory: ${RELEASE_DIR}
    </fail>

(BTW: You might want to also consider changing that second <fail> to an
<echo> instead and using <input> to ask the user if they want to remove
${RELEASE_DIR}, and if they do, <delete> it for them and continue on,
rather than failing out, having them manually remove it, then running the
build again.)
