Edwin, I faced a similar situation not long ago. What I ended up doing was running the script on the box itself and not using a mapped/UNC drive.

It's quite obvious that the problem is lack of permissions. I wonder why NAnt can see this "special" directory. I say "special" because I can't see it in explorer or on the command line using dir. I can think of a few workarounds for this problem but I think it may be better solved in the NAnt code for the long run. What happens when someone else wants to do something similar and they encounter this condition? --Edwin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_idU88&alloc_id065&op=ick _______________________________________________ Nant-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nant-users ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_idU88&alloc_id065&op=click _______________________________________________ Nant-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nant-users
