[Anthill] build.xml does not exist!

[Eric Minick]

William,

Looks like the rest of the list has about as much experience with 
Anthill on z/OS as I do. I believe your understanding of the File System 
driver is accurate, and there does need to be something we're mssing. 
Often times when a command run from the command line works but the 
AnthillOS command doing the exact same thing fails, we trace it back to 
the user running AnthillOS having differant permissions or settings than 
the person at the keyboard. Is that possible?

Regards,

Eric
