I have this set to \anttest, which ends up mapping to
c:\anthill\anttest on my system.

My setup is very similar to yours.  I don't have the
build.ant.param$1.value - maybe I need to add that so that I'm not
making any assumptions about which task is run?

I also have repository.subversion.work.dir = \anttest instead of
repository.subversion.work.dir = work/Waldo - the system is definitely
finding the directory as the code is getting checked out to the proper
location.

I think this is where I'm getting stuck.  Possible that it's just
calling ant build.xml and ant doesn't know which task to run?

I'll add "compile" to anthill.publish.ant.params at the bottom of my
project properties (via the web interface) and see where that takes
me.
