>From what I can tell, NAnt the '\' character is treated as an escape character as it is in the CLR, therefore to use it you need to escape it first (i.e. '\\') I haven't done enough investigation to be sure exactly when this applies, but to be on the safe side, I have used '/' throughout my build scripts (I come from an Ant/Java background anyway so this was my first approach) and haven't had any problems so far.

If I use '\' for the <includes> task I don't get any files. If I switch to '/' it works fine.
