Dominique thanks very much for the reply. This is working great so far!
This is the syntax of my command now...
<java classname="org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher"
classpath="${env.ANT_HOME}/lib/ant-launcher.jar"
fork="true"
failonerror="true"
outputproperty="exec-result">
<arg line="-f ./../../../Client/Build/build-flash.xml" />
<arg line="-logger org.apache.tools.ant.XmlLogger" />
<arg line="-verbose" />
<arg line="-logfile c:\cygwin\home\roberts\${logfile}" />
</java>
Hopefully that will help others with a similar problem. Thanks again
for the reply Dominique.

.bat files are unreliable. You should <java fork="true">, running
Ant's launcher class, who is the class that interprets the Ant
arguments and starts the whole thing. Then you'll get proper error
codes. Examples can be found in the archives.
