Thanks Very Much it turned out to be, I finally found out 2 hours afterwards, that unlike other platforms the shell interpreter has to be specified. add the line to the shell and all is ok.

Ant is creating a new process (via fork() ) and then trying to execute "something" inside that process that isn't right for the platform. If I were you I would examine the target/dependency rules and see exactly what it is trying to do.
