unzip Task Throws Java Exception on Valid Files

I have several zip files that I can use with the WinZip application without 
any problems.  However, the Ant "unzip" task cannot perform the extract 
operation on these files without throwing the following exception:

getData:
      [echo] Extracting data files from C:/Downloads/TSNData...
     [unzip] Expanding: C:\Downloads\TSNData\ctx0409i.zip into 
C:\Utilities\Tracker\csvdata

invalid compression method

Has anybody encountered this error before and is there a solution?

Thanks...
