Hi Rob,
running ant from an UNC path is currently not working due
to java inconsistencies on UNC path representation in 
java.net.URL and java.net.URI.
try 
System.out.println(new File("\\\\myunchost\\myuncpath").toURI());
and 
System.out.println(new File("\\\\myunchost\\myuncpath").toURI().toURL());
I've already created a bugreport for Ant as well as for Java
and will provide a proposed patch for Ant in the next days.

If you need a quick (and dirty) solution, i can send you a trial version of
the fixed ant-launcher.jar.

Regards
Rainer
