Maven Ant Tasks: Reading from an existing pom

I'm attempting to run a simple ant task that reads an existing pom.xml.
However, when the task gets to the pom reading line, it says:
[artifact:pom] Unable to create dummy Pom
[artifact:pom] Component descriptor cannot be found in the component repository: org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.layout.ArtifactRepositoryLayoutlib.

Here's the build.xml:

<project xmlns:artifact="antlib:org.apache.maven.artifact.ant">

  <path id="maven-ant-tasks.classpath" path="maven-ant-tasks-2.1.3.jar" />
  <typedef resource="org/apache/maven/artifact/ant/antlib.xml"
       uri="antlib:org.apache.maven.artifact.ant"
       classpathref="maven-ant-tasks.classpath" />

       <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties" 
classpath="/repository/ant-contrib/ant-contrib/1.0b3/ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar" />

<target name="build">
<artifact:pom id="mypom" file="pom.xml" />

...

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike
