I think you want to use the <ant> target:
<ant antfile="build.xml" target="clean">

The docs say that properties in your build.xml will propagate through to 
other build.xml's.

The problem with the way you're doing it (besides that there's a specific 
feature to do this exact thing) is maybe that it can't find the classpath.  
I dunno, that's only a guess.

HTH,
Russ
