Anthony, What exactly are you trying to achieve?
pushd and popd are builtins to the Windows shell. This is why Ant cannot execute them directly. The normal way around this would be to actually exec cmd.exe and ask it to run the built-in. In your case, however, the pushd and popd commands would only affect the process that is created for the <exec> operation. Any effect they did have would be lost when the <exec> completes and would not affect the Ant process. Perhaps you can explain why you need to pushd/popd at all and we could suggest an alternative approach.
