I forgot to mention that I have other things in 'parent_of_dirname-*' that I
would like to keep. Shure I can do the <exec /> but is there a more elegant
way to just remove directories in a: 'rm -rf <regexp>' fashion?
cheers!

I think you could do the following:
<delete includeEmptyDirs="true" >
<fileset dir="parent_of_dirname-*" />
</delete>
If that doesn't work, do an <exec/> on the *nix command.
