Basically dir causes a "cd dir" before the command is executed (which
will not work when using <java> in no-fork mode).

Maybe you are passing relative filenames to the command and they don't
get resolved relative to the directory you want them to refer to?

Does the command line that ant -verbose shows work when you invoke it
inside the specified dir?
