unexplained BUILD FAILED

["Esbrook, Scott" <Sc...@compuware.com>]

Hello,

I'm using Ant 1.4.1 on W2K Pro and am getting an unexplained BUILD FAILED
when executing the Sourcesafe vssget task. Compared to the output from the
command line, the Ant output looks fine, and files are retrieved as would be
expected. But at the end it says BUILD FAILED and exits immediately instead
of performing the other necessary tasks.

            recursive="true"

            ssdir="C:/Progra~1/Micros~4/Common/VSS/win32"
            writable="false"/>
   </target>

//////////////////////////////////////

Note that the output where [vssget] messages appear are nearly identical to
the output when executing 'ss Get $/POC -I- -R' from the commandline (Ant
adds the '   [vssget]'), but from the commandline SourceSafe does not error
or complain whatsoever.

Any ideas why this is failing?
