I should really get the ant source and figure out what the problem is.
Sounds like a timing hole? Maybe they are threading the delete? In lieu of
that, here is my modified solution:
<project name="prj">
<target name="cleanBuildDirs">
<exec program="cmd" commandline="/c rmdir ..\dir1 /s /q"
if="${directory::exists('..\dir1')}"/>
<exec program="cmd" commandline="/c rmdir ..\dir1 /s /q"
if="${directory::exists('..\dir1')}"/>
<!-- etc -->
<delete file="..\file1"/>
<!-- etc -->
</target>
</project>
This seems to work fine.
