Profile activation by missing file doesn't works

[Felix Knecht]

Hi all

The foofoo profile is always activated, no matter if a file 'timestamp' exists 
in the same directory like the pom.xml or
not. It looks to me as the ${basedir} is not correctly resolved. Is this a 
known problem?

Thanks
Felix
