The basedir is a path, and this should indeed not contain '*' characters.
More recent versions of NAnt (http://nant.sourceforge.net/nightly/builds),
will provide a more useful error message.
You probably want something like this :
<fileset basedir="../${branch}/.NET" >
<includes name="*.*" />
</fileset>
or this if you also want to remove all files from subdirectories too :
<fileset basedir="../${branch}/.NET" >
<includes name="**/*.*" />
</fileset>
Hope this helps,
Gert
