cvs task with cvs log command

Hello,

i have a problem with the <cvs> task in ANT. Here my cvs target:

<cvs cvsRoot="${cvs.root}" quiet="true"
command="log -d &quot;2005-08-01&lt;2005-08-03&quot; 
C:/wsad/workspace/deployment_utilities &gt; c:\\new_test.log" 
failonerror="yes" >
</cvs>

But i get this error:

[cvs] cvs log: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or 
directory
[cvs] cvs [log aborted]: no repository
[cvs] retCode=1

And this infos:

Execute:Java13CommandLauncher: Executing 'cvs' with arguments:
'-d:pserver:ROOT(changed for security reasons)'
'-q'
'log'
'-d'
'2005-08-01<2005-08-03'
'C:/wsad/workspace/deployment_utilities'
'>'
'c:\\new_test.log'

The problem is that ANT dont pass the " around the 2 dates with the CVS 
command.

Why ?

This following cvs command works (tested without ANT, directly with CVS):

cvs -d:ROOT(changed for security reasons) -q log -d "2005-08-01<2005-08-03" 
C:/wsad/workspace/deployment_utilities > c:\\new_test.log

Have anyone an idea ? How can i pass the " to the CVS command ?

Any workaround for me ?

Thank you for your help.

Greets Oliver

that isnt the problem. Ant doesnt need to quote stuff because it isnt 
going via the shell

but because of teh shell, you cant do > c:\\newtest.log in the command. 
Those two args are being sent to CVS and failing, because it doesnt 
understand them.

yes, look at the output attribute of the cvs task
