At the moment available is only valid inside targets so you would have to 
rearrange your setup to look like

<target name="test-Analysis.jar-present">
  <available file="${srcdir}/Analysis.jar" property="Analysis.jar.present"/>
</target>

<target name="LoadAnalysis.zip" 
        depends="test-Analysis.jar-present" 
        if="Analysis.jar.present"/>

Cheers,

Pete
