<move> task fails on overwriting

           Summary: <move> task fails on overwriting
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.4.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: criecke@cxtec.com


I have an ant script that does a simple <move...> task with a file= and a 
todir= attribute.  Occasionally this pops up with a "Unable to remove file 
____" error.  The funny thing is that I have several <move...>'s in a row, and 
it seems to stop on a different one.  But when you re-run the script, it stops 
on the same file each time.  When you delete the file from a command prompt 
(which sometimes succeeds, sometimes not) and re-run the script, it may stop on 
a different file or go all the way through.

I suspected file locking issues, but ran the same ant build on a box with 
nothing running, and got the same problem.  To workaround it, I have changed 
the <move> to <copy>+<delete>, which works fine.
