Work around:
1. Make sure none of the files or directories involved
are Read-Only.
2. In my case the source files are all being
retrieved from Visual Source Safe (VSS) at the start of the Nant script
using code like the following:
<vssget
username="${vss.user}"
password="${vss.password}"
localpath="${src.dir}<%=_localPaths[x]%>"
recursive="true"
replace="true"
writable="false"
dbpath="${vss.db.path}"
path="<%=_vssPaths[x]%>"
verbose="true"
failonerror="true"
/>
username="${vss.user}"
password="${vss.password}"
localpath="${src.dir}<%=_localPaths[x]%>"
recursive="true"
replace="true"
writable="false"
dbpath="${vss.db.path}"
path="<%=_vssPaths[x]%>"
verbose="true"
failonerror="true"
/>
Changing writable to TRUE solved the
problem!

Subject: [Nant-users] Copy task problem: Coping two instances of the same file to one new location
I'm having a problem
with the copy task failing (System.UnauthorizedAccessException) when it tries to copy two
seperate instances of the same file to one destination. I've got a simple
copy task that is supposed to consolidate the bin directories from multiple
projects into one common bin directory, but when it tries to overwrite a copy of
a file that was copied earlier in the task it fails. It appears that the
copy task holds some sort of a lock on all the files it creates until the entire
job completes...
Here is my
script:
<copy
todir="${build.dir}\bin" overwrite="true" flatten="true" verbose="true"
failonerror="false">
<fileset basedir="${src.dir}">
<include name="**\bin\${build.config}\*.*" />
</fileset>
</copy>
<fileset basedir="${src.dir}">
<include name="**\bin\${build.config}\*.*" />
</fileset>
</copy>
An here is the error
that is thrown:
[copy]
C:\AutomatedBuilds\Libraries\src\Solutions\Libraries\common.footer.build(5,4):

exception stack trace --- at NAnt.Core.Tasks.CopyTask.DoFileOperations() at

Problems:
1. Even though
overwrite="true" is fails to overwrite the previously copied file with a
different instance of the same file.\.
2. Even though
failonerror="false" the task aborts, and none of the other files are
copied.
Is anybody aware of
a work around for this that does not involve me creating a seperate copy tast
for each of my source projects (I'm consolidating 83
projects).
Thanks-
