It's correct that <path> cannot live inside a target.  What surprised me is
that <property> CAN live outside a target, since it is a task, and I thought
all tasks need to be inside of targets.  For instance, the documentation
illustrates using <property> inside of an "init" task.  Why does this work?
(and it worked beautifully!...thanks to all who responded!)

Cheers,
David

Only the latter will work as <path> is not allowed to live inside a
target.
