Hi Jonathan,
sorry I didn't think of it before, but as far as I know, Ivy doesn't support
Cygwin symlinking.

Hi Maarten,
My apologies for not responding more promptly. I got sidetracked from this
over
the holidays. Here's an example of console output from the ivy:retreive ant
call. I see at the bottom of the log that it thinks the symlink failed to
create and throws an exception, even though this is not the case.

Could you send us the console output when running Ant in verbose mode?
