Rolf, I just did a test by creating a "System Volume Information" directory here, putting some files inside it and running the delete task on it. It worked with no problems on windows. I suggest you try doing the same and figuring out whether only the special "System Volume Information" on C:\ gives the problem that you mention or it happens for any directory with the given name.
In case the latter occurs (rather doubtful), just try upgrading your java and ant. I wouldn't know what to do incase the former occurs. I can't try your script here on C:\ for obvious reasons :-) I can only suggest trying both the full name "System Volume Information" or the DOS name System~1 Hope that helps, Tarun -----Original Message----- From: Rolf Schumacher [mailto:Rolf.Schumacher@;hamburg.de] Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 8:13 PM To: Ant Users List Subject: Re: fileset: exlude a dir not to be touched by ant? Thank you, Tarun, but this trial fails as well. It looks to me as if - for some reason - Ant tries to open a dircetory even if it should not do anything with it.
