Why are you using <exec> to call other buildfiles?
use <ant>:
<ant antfile="${buildfile.dir}/${mybuildfile}" target="build">
Unless of course, this is the way you want....

Subject: stopping an <exec>
Does anyone know how to stop the processing of an <exec>.
My <exec> kicks off a <javac> in another build.xml file. If
<javac> reports errors, I'd like the calling exec to stop execution
and anything passed that exec to also stop. If you haven't already
guest, I've got a build.xml that controls the execution of other
XML files via the <exec> task. I tried the failonerror flag on both
tasks, but it dosen't work. I don't believe that javac returns
anything, and that may be the reason.
