Hi Beth, Your configuration is correct - there was a bug in the code which was preventing the parameters from being passed to publishers (or prebuild tasks). Since this was reasonably simple, I have put in a fix for the bug - when CCNetLive finishes building it should be ok.
This is one of the new features that was added for 1.5, hence the reason for some of the issues. So sorry for the difficulties and thanks for sharing your issues with us. Also, on a final note, I'm away on holiday for the next three weeks, so I won't be able to look into the other issue with the $[...] syntax and targetList until I get back.
