No cd necessary.  Use the absolute or relative path like this:

     <target name="build">
          <!-- no cd necessary .... -->
         <delete dir="path/to/jinxweb" />
         <cvs command="co jinxweb" dest="path/to/jinxweb" ... />
     </target>

And if you're using the path in other places, you probably want to make 
it a property.

Change to directory to what? For the sake of
discussion let me call that directory new_dir. Ant has
no cd task. Instead you do this:
 
     <delete dir="new_dir/jinxweb" />
 
     <cvs command="co jinxweb" dest="new_dir"/>

Ivan
