Yes, as expected. You specifed a path relative to the context directory.

You should be able to set the value of project.build-dir in
your forrest.properties to whatever path you want. Try a full
pathname. Or try a full pathname from your command-line test.
Be careful with using your own Ant build to call forrest's
Ant targets. There are some issues with clashing target names
and other troubles (see our issue tracker). Also it hasn't been
designed to be called like this, so perhaps you are missing some
initialisation that forrest would normally do.
Things are a bit improved in the development version of Forrest,
but needs more work.
