That won't work because a property set on the command line is read-only
by design.
(Overwrite by default is already set to true anyhow.)

Hi Ken-
1) you'll need to set overwrite attribute to true e.g.
<property name="TestProperty" value="foo" overwrite="true"/>
2)The user MUST HAVE write privileges to the folder in which he is
writing
so user fu can overwrite bar.txt
chown fu bar.txt
HTH
Martin-

Subject: [NAnt-users] Command line properties - Can you explain
this message?
I am setting a property from the command line. It seems to
work, but I get a message indicating that I cannot overwrite the
property, yet the property does in fact get set. Can anyone help
explain this?

Nant Script:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="TestBuild" default="default" basedir=".">
<property name="TestProperty" value="foo" readonly="false"
/>
<target name="*">
<echo message="TestProperty = ${TestProperty}" />
</target>
</project>

Command Line:
nant -D:TestProperty=bar
