Sorry for the belated response, but I just figured out an
alternate syntax to do what you are trying to do, and thought other people might
find it helpfull:
<delete dir=".\${src.dir}"
if="${directory::exists('.\$' + src.dir)}" failonerror="false"
/>
The point is that you can't nest ${...} properties but you
CAN still concatonate strings in expressions, so '.\${src.dir}' becomes '.\$' + src.dir

Subject: [Nant-users] How To Use Variable in delete if construct
I have the following line in my build file
<delete dir=".\${src.dir}"
if="${directory::exists('.\${src.dir}')}" failonerror="false" />
Using the variable ${src.dir} inside the exists() call does not work.
What is the syntax for using a variable inside the exists() function?
