Malcolm, I had a quick look, and there's really nothing weird going on.
The problem is that the error message is not clear. It mentions that a directory could not be scanned, while in fact it should specify the assembly that could not be scanned. I fixed this in CVS. The reason why you get this is failure, is because you're scanning the entire NAntContrib bin directory for extensions (tasks/types) and one of the assemblies in that directory (probably CollectionGen.dll) contains a reference to an assembly that cannot be loaded (probably Microsoft.VSDesigner).
