Michael, 

there are some issues with <delete> task in Windows.
If the directory/file to delete are used by another
program, like the dir is opened in Windows Explorer,
is not deleted.

But he-he, this is not the case with you. I just
noticed that you have used wrong brackets:
<delete dir="$(test)/aa" ...
must be
<delete dir="${test}/aa" ...

:)) Isn't it funny
Ivan
