ok, this is weird
<loadtasks path="C:\Tools\nantcontrib-0.85-rc3\bin" />
gives me the same error, so I can't even hard code the path.
I can however hard code the assembly
<loadtasks
assembly="C:\Tools\nantcontrib-0.85-rc3\bin\NAnt.Contrib.Tasks.dll"/>
That worked, so at least I can load the assemblies with out having to just dump
all of nantcontrib/bin into the nant/bin as some posters have suggested.
Thanks
