Help! ON copying a file

For some weird reason a 'copy' task is failing, reliably.
 
I create a (set of )temporary directories
    ./dist
    ./dist/configurations
    ./dist/configurations/app
Then use a filter to put a file into ./dist/configurations/app:
    ./dist/configurations/app/web.xml
 
Then, copy to another directory, also created by Ant:
    ./build/app/WEB-INF
 
However, the last copy ALWAYS fails:
BUILD FAILED
file:C:/scripts/buildscripts/buildapp.xml:653: Failed to copy
C:\dev\dist\configurations\app\web.xml to
C:\dev\build\app\WEB-INF due to C:\dev\build\app\WEB-INF (Access is deni
ed)
 
Thanks
