I've also noticed a problem with inheritance between parent and sub
projects when dealing with properties also specified in the
driver.properties.  See MAVEN-294 for more info.  This may be related to
your problem...however, I haven't heard anything back from this bug.  As
far as I can tell, no one has even LOOKED at it.  I have patches to add
a test to touchstone, along with patches to fix the problem.  Please
have a look, and let's get this problem fixed.  It is starting to
seriously affect my ability to keep pace with maven's HEAD.
