Russel,

I have seen behavior that could lead to this.  I don't understand the
circumstances, but I've had "miscompiled" Groovy classes that inherit from
Java classes that pass all nulls to the Java constructor instead of the
objects that were given to them.  I simply recompiled the Groovy and the
problem disappeared.  I saw this behavior by stepping threw the execution
and saw non-null values get passed to the Groovy constructor, and then the
Java super class constructor gets called with all nulls.

I'm wondering if this might be related to your other problems compiling the
CopySpec stuff.  My only hesitation in this suggestion is that I don't know
why this happened to me, so I don't know the circumstances that lead to this
bug.  Would you please put a couple println in the code and see if my guess
is correct?  SettingsFactory creates the DefaultSettings object, so make
sure settingsDir is not null there.  If it's not, my guess is correct.
