This should have been:
<property name="haveSources" value="${directory::exists(sln.dir)}" />

You could:
1. use the directory::exists function in the if/unless attributes of
<target>:
<target name="scc_up" if="${directory::exists(sln.dir)}">
<exec executable="utils\svn.exe" failonerror="true" dir="${sln.dir}">
<arg line="up" />
</exec>
</target>
<target name="scc_co" unless="${directory::exists(sln.dir)}">
<mkdir dir="${sources.folder}"/>
<exec executable="utils\svn.exe" failonerror="true"
dir="${sources.folder}">
<arg line="co ${src.url} ." />
</exec>
</target>
2. use a single target and perform the test in there:
<if test="${directory::exists(sln.dir)}">
<exec executable="utils\svn.exe" failonerror="true" dir="${sln.dir}">
<arg line="up" />
</exec>
</if>
<if test="${not(directory::exists(sln.dir))}">
<mkdir dir="${sources.folder}"/>
<exec executable="utils\svn.exe" failonerror="true"
dir="${sources.folder}">
<arg line="co ${src.url} ." />
</exec>
</if>
If you also use a recent NAntContrib nightly build, then you can do this
(which is much cleaner than the two <if> tasks):
<choose>
<when test="test="${directory::exists(sln.dir)}">
<exec executable="utils\svn.exe" failonerror="true"
dir="${sln.dir}">
<arg line="up" />
</exec>
</when>
<otherwise>
<mkdir dir="${sources.folder}"/>
<exec executable="utils\svn.exe" failonerror="true"
dir="${sources.folder}">
<arg line="co ${src.url} ." />
</exec>
</otherwise>
</choose>
Hope this helps,
Gert
