Removing the /B would just mean it would return 0 all the time.
As it happens I can't actually modify the batch file (its one that
ships with another product that I just happen to be invoking).
I suppose I could use a wrapper batch file that caught the return code
and then wrote a file out - but thats seems incredibly hacky!
Is there no way for ANT to actually detect batch file return codes?

Thanks for all the help by the way!
