Good. I am suggesting that you uninstall the rpm package that came with RHEL 3.5 and use the tar.gz available from ant.apache.org. You already have the tar.gz installed, but you are seeing some unexpected behavior because the rpm is still installed. Simply uninstall the rpm and your problems should go away.
