Thanks for that Brian, I have tried shortening my path environment variable to the bare minimum (about 40 chars) but it makes no difference. I have also moved the source to the shortest path I can get (without changing names - it's a BIG project, around 1000 source files) and again it makes no difference. I think I have tracked the cause down to a change made to the ResGenTask.cs (in NAnt.DotNet.Tasks file on 3rd July 2004. This is either directly or indirectly causing me the problem, but I haven't had the time to try to work through the change or what it does yet. Builds before this work fine.
I don't have access to CVS, but does anyone know what the change made was for? This may give some pointers as to what is wrong with my build and what I need to change to fix it.

One alternative is - when the src files are extracted to your local drive, consider fiddling the file/path name by making certain name shorter. eg Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ConfigurationManagement (CS) to config mgt. .Net file convention seems to be longer than the old ways of naming files. If you keep the file name to less than 255 chars, the build should work. Hope this info helps.
