Weird ant task behavior

["Gabbour, TJ" <TJ...@javexx.de>]

Hello,

For some reason, whenever I try using the "ant" task using an antfile 
attrib with property values inside, the properties don't expand correctly.
That is,


<property name="path" value="work/tj/javexx/" />
<property name="develop" value="develop/" />
...
<copyfile src="${path}${develop}${EncodeDecode-package}${default-buildname}"
dest="${path}${develop}${EncodeDecode-package}build2.xml" />
<ant antfile="${path}${develop}${EncodeDecode-package}${default-buildname}"
/>

The "copyfile" works.  But the ant looks for the buildfile WITHOUT the
${path} 
included.  Is this an old problem?  I just downloaded the stable Ant package
yesterday and am running on LoseNT 4.0.

Thanks,
 Tj
