P.S. :
here's the xmlstructure i tested with Ant 1.6.5 /jdk 1.5.0
and xmltask 1.15.1
File.xml before :
<devices>
<device name="some_device">
content
</device>
<devices>

sorry,should have been =
<xmltask source="File.xml" report="true" dest="File.xml">
<copy path="//[EMAIL PROTECTED]'${old.source.device}']/." buffer="foobar"/>
<insert path="//[EMAIL PROTECTED]'${old.source.device}']/." buffer="foobar"
position="after"/>
<replace path="//[EMAIL PROTECTED]'${old.source.device}'][2]/@name"
withText="${new.source.device}" />

File.xml afterwards :

content
</device>
<device name="some_other_device">
