The recommended way to do this uses the <pathconvert>
task. In Ant 1.6.5:
<pathconvert refid="my.path.id" property="my.path" />
<echo>$${my.path}=${my.path}</echo>
In Ant 1.7:
<pathconvert refid="my.path.id" />
You're welcome. ;)

P.S. You -could- also use
<echo>${toString:my.path.id}</echo>
But that's technically unsupported.
