I think if you separate it out then it should work.. something like:

<echo file="test.xml">&lt;property name=&quot;generateTime&quot; 
value=&quot;${"$" + "datetime::now()}"}&quot;</echo>

Although there may be some way to escape the ${} thing with a back slash or an 
extra $... but I'm too lazy to check the code. ;)
