Thanks, that was the right pointer I needed. Here's the code that I'm using
now so others mught benefit from it, or maybe improve on it.
<move todir="${src.dir}">
<fileset dir="${src.dir}">
<include name="**/*.jsp"/>
</fileset>
<mapper type="regexp" from="^(.*)Form(.*)\.jsp$$"
to="\1\2.jsp"/>
</move>
