Errors on top of errors [sigh...]

We've now found that the immediate reason the example I sent you is failing is that 
exec's commandline attribute string was broken across lines.  (OK, I'm a neat freak, 
even if I'm not too bright sometimes.)  That worker script formatting detail caused 
the new verison of the trivial script to fail.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the _original_ version of the trivial script (which had 
the commandline attribute all on one line) fail because I had upgraded my personal 
machine to the 9/8/2004 nightly build which deprecates convert::int() in favor of 
int::parse().  I dutifully updated my big worker script, forgetting that the formal 
test machine would have the older NAnt.  NAnt 9/1/2004 then got an XML parsing error 
on the updated worker script.

Cruise Control now enters the picture.  The failing working script returned 1 which 
the trivial NAnt script which has spawned the worked reported back to Cruise Control.  
Cruise Control then reported (in one very small line) that the build had failed, but 
blindly pulled up the XML log file left behind by the previous successful run worker 
script and reported that all NUnit tests passed.

The worker script is careful to delete old files, but the syntax error prevented any 
of the worker script from running.  It took us forever to figure this all out 
because--while the console output of the NAnt worker script was clearly reporting the 
syntax error, Cruise Control refuses to show us that output.  (Or, at least, we 
haven't figured out how to do it.)

So, never mind.
