-D command line option not working

           Summary: -D command line option not working
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5.3
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Build Process
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: justin_luzier@neimanmarcus.com


I'm attempting to use the -D option to override a property called "package" in 
my build.xml file. I'm running the script using the following command: 

ant deploy_visual_sat -Dpackage=visual

I receive the following error:

BUILD FAILED
Target `�Dpackage' does not exist in this project.

Not sure what the � character is. Seems to not recoginize the -. The script 
runs, throws this error and doesn't override the package param which is 
currently set to: 

<property name="package" value="ecare"/>

I'm running Ant via a Win2k "cmd" window.
