Scott,

I just tried this on Win2000.  I got an error from CreateProcess as well.
So, I tried setting the "dir" to the parent and then including the commands
directory in the "executable" - that worked.  So try changing to this:

<target name="Latest Test" >
    <echo message="Testit is executing now" />
    <exec dir="c:\" executable="testit\test" />
</target>
