Malcolm,
I don't have NAnt installed here so can't verify, but perhaps it is
having a problem with the '..' in the path? Try using
${path::combine(nant::get-base-directory(),
'..\..\nantcontrib-0.85-rc3\bin')}, this is the recommended (if more
verbose) method for creating a path relative to another path.
It's probably worth testing with a hard-coded path, too, just to make
sure NAnt can scan the assemblies in that folder.
Personally, I would recommend setting an environment variable
NANT_CONTRIB_HOME, and loading the assemblies relative to this
variable... the major reason for this is that currently your build
script is tightly coupled to the _version_ of NAntContrib you have
installed, as well as its location relative to NAnt. If you decouple
this with an environment variable (which can be set locally in a shell
if you have multiple versions side-by-side), then upgrading will be
easier, as will setting up the build on a different machine, which may
or may not have a different structure.
Regards, and good luck,
