Subject: Problems with property file task

Hey guys, I'm having a bit of an issue with the propertyfile task.  I
have a build script that captures a date range worth of changes to a
file then use that file as the message body for an email:
=20
=20
<project name=3D"datetest" default=3D"build" basedir=3D".">
 <target name=3D"build">
   <property file=3D"build.properties"/>
   <echo message=3D"Grabbing changes between ${datestart} - =
${dateend}"/>
   <exec dir=3D"." executable=3D"p4.exe" output=3D"mailbody.txt">
      <arg line=3D"changes -l
//depot/up-svcs/lty/rel/LTY-R25.0/...@${datestart},@${dateend}"/>
   </exec>
   <mail mailhost=3D"<somehost>"=20
     subject=3D"Deployment of ${version} complete"=20
     messagefile=3D"mailbody.txt">
      <from address=3D"<fromadd>"/ <mailto:eciramella@upromise.com"/> >
      <replyto address=3D"<replytoadd>"/
<mailto:eciramella@upromise.com"/> >
      <to address=3D"<toadd>"/ <mailto:eciramella@upromise.com"/> >
    </mail>
  </target>
   <!-- datestart=3D2006/05/06\:23\:00 -->
   <propertyfile file=3D"build.properties">
     <entry  key=3D"datestart" type=3D"date" value=3D"${dateend}"
pattern=3D"yyyy/MM/dd:HH:mm:ss"/>
     <entry  key=3D"dateend" type=3D"date" value=3D"now"
pattern=3D"yyyy/MM/dd:HH:mm:ss"/>
   </propertyfile>
   <delete file=3D"mailbody.txt"/>
</project>

What's weird is, if I leave in the propertyfile task, the mailbody.txt
file is blank, if I comment it out, I get exactly what I'm expecting.

What is propertyfile doing and why is mailbody.txt blank?
