That could be that you haven't got repository.subversion.work.dir set up 
properly, and so Anthill can't find the checked out source where it expects. 
Varban's right - the Tomcat logs should provide further clues.

I understand it's not easy without an example, so here's the settings from a 
project of mine built from Subversion. Anthill here is running on Linux. The 
Subversion repository is on the same host in this case. Users are mostly on 
other machines, so all access including from the local machine is via 
svnserve. The project name is Waldo.

build.script = build.xml
build.tag = success
build.ant.params$1.value = release
repository.adapter = com.urbancode.anthill.adapter.SubversionRepositoryAdapter
repository.subversion.url = svn://localhost/Waldo/trunk
repository.subversion.tags.url = svn://localhost/Waldo/tags
repository.subversion.anthill.user = anthill
repository.subversion.anthill.password = xyzzy
repository.subversion.work.dir = work/Waldo

To do a build Anthill checks out the source thus:

svn co --username anthill --password xyzzy svn://localhost/Waldo/trunk 
work/Waldo

On Unix Anthill's default directory when running is the Anthill home 
directory. Anthill where then try to build the project by running the 
equivalent of

cd work/Waldo
ant build.xml release

HTH.
