A lot of time the problem comes from the space in the filename when it is a
command-line variable.
in windows if you need to pass a command-line arg to an application with a
space you need to double quote the variable like: wlrun C:\Program
Files\blah //This will fail because it is parsed into 2 pieces by the
command line args.
wlrun "C:\Program Files\blah" //This will pass the quoted string as one
whole arg.

Assuming the following exists in your xml, for NT 4.0 (sp6), ant 1.3,
java 1.3.1
I was able to run all three just fine. Now, the escape target did
exactly as I instructed it to which was to copy the build.xml to
c:\Program\ Files which made a directory called Program and then a
directory named " Files" (quotes used to show space) and then copied
the file there.
It does not appear to be a problem with copy so perhaps something you
are doing? I'd hazard a guess that the Progra~1 would be what you'd
want to use. If nothing else, that would eliminate a known space in
your classpath (classpath error or path?) and you could look for other
spaces with ant -debug.
<property name="space" value="c:/Program Files/" />
<property name="nospace" value="c:/Progra~1/" />
<property name="escape" value="c:/Program\ Files/" />
<target name="main" depends="nospace, space, escape" />
<target name="space">
<copy file=".\build.xml" todir="${space}" />
</target>
<target name="nospace">
<copy file=".\build.xml" todir="${nospace}" />
</target>
<target name="escape">
<copy file=".\build.xml" todir="${escape}" />
</target>

Here is an example of what I am trying to do:
<property name="db2.home" value="c:/Program Files/SQLLIB/cc/c2"/>
<path id="run.class.path">
<path refid="vendor.class.path"/>
<pathelement path="${basedir}/${weblogic.name}/classes"/>
<pathelement path="${basedir}/${weblogic.name}/properties"/>
<pathelement path="${weblogic.home}/lib/jConnect.jar"/>
<pathelement path="${db2.home}/db2java.zip"/>
<path refid="lib.class.path"/>
<path refid="java.class.path"/>
</path>
Then, when I start weblogic with wlrun I am getting an error due to
space in
the classpath
