Mark,
Peter and Jan look to have figured out your compile issue. I would recommend, however, that you reconsider using MatchingTask. It was the way early Ant tasks were implements but it is not ideal. A better approach would be to use an addFileset(FileSet fs) method and process that fileset (or multiple filesets) in your execute method.
Your task then has an explicit fileset
<task> <fileset .../> </task>
It's a cleaner approach overall.

Thanks for all the help offered so far. I've modified my code and getting better results, but am still error prone.
I can build my ant task now; however, when I try to use it I get:
build.xml [18] The <fileset> data type doesn't support the nested "includes" element.
BUILD FAILED
I'm assuming this means that 'fileset' is seen as an ordinary nested element, and not the special FileSet facility provided by Ant.
I've included my task and code. Any further help would be great!
