Stephen,
What version of NAnt are you using? Looking at the source for the
<exec> task, failonerror="false" should definitely stop the build from
failing as far back as 0.84... what error is being reported in the log
in these cases?
One workaround may be to use the <trycatch> task from NAntContrib, but
I'm not sure if you will be able to see what the value of the exit
code is - you may need to test this for suitability.
Also, it would be useful to know at least some of the reasons why the
NUnit/NUnit2 tasks aren't suitable for your build, so they can be
assessed and addressed to make the tasks (more) suitable.
