Matt,
While that will ofcourse work, its definitely not the recommended procedure.

Subject: RE: [Nant-users] NantContrib [loadtasks]
I found a great way to do this without using <loadtasks>.
Here is a snippet from my nant.exe.config file in the nant bin folder.
<!-- nant config settings -->
<nant>
<frameworks>
<platform name="win32" default="auto">
<task-assemblies>
<!-- include NAnt task assemblies -->
<include name="*Tasks.dll" />
<!-- include NAnt test assemblies -->
<include name="*Tests.dll" />
<!-- include framework-neutral assemblies -->
<include name="tasks/*.dll" />
<!-- I added these!!! -->
<!-- include nant_contrib task assemblies -->
<include name="c:/nant_contrib/bin/*.dll" />
<!-- include my custom nant task assemblies -->
<include name="c:/mynant/bin/*.dll" />
<!-- exclude Microsoft.NET specific task assembly -->
<exclude name="NAnt.MSNetTasks.dll" />
<!-- exclude Microsoft.NET specific test assembly -->
<exclude name="NAnt.MSNet.Tests.dll" />
</task-assemblies>
I saw this on a Blog somewhere. I'm sorry I don't remember whose it was to
give proper credit, but I think this is a very elegant way to handle nant
contrib. and custom tasks without destroying the encapsulation of the nant
build. It may not be as efficient, code wise, but it's less work for me
(the lazy type) because I don't have to use <loadtasks>.
Happy NAnting!

Here's what I did...
Just had to define the path to nantcontrib.
I really try to avoid copying the 'bin' folders these days. God know what could happen.
<loadtasks assembly="${nantcontrib.dir}\bin\NAnt.Contrib.Tasks.dll" /> <vssget
user="${project.vss.readonly.username}"
password="${project.vss.readonly.password}"
localpath="${path::combine(current.build.dir, 'Applications')}"
dbpath="${project.vss.database}"
path="$/Applications"
recursive="true"
writable="true"
replace="true"
removedeleted="true" />
Rick.
