Are you putting <ant> calls into your build.xml to call your targets?

You should have something like this:

<target name="init">
   [...]
</target>

<target name="clean">
    [...]
</target>

<target name="compile"
    depends="init">
   [...]
</target>

<target name="sendReport"
    depends="init,compile">
    [...]
</target>

<target name="complete"
   depends="clean sendReport"/>

Running "ant complete" will run "init", "clean", "compile", and
"sendReport" only once. If you call multiple targets on the command
line, or use <ant> tasks, you will get multiple calls because each
target is executed separately.

Note that I only "complete" depending upon "clean". You usually don't
force a "clean" or you break your build dependency checking.

Here's my test build.xml:

<project name="test" default="complete" basedir=".">
    <target name="init"/>
    <target name="clean"/>
    <target name="compile" depends="clean,init"/>
    <target name="sendReport" depends="init,compile"/>
    <target name="complete" depends="init,sendReport"/>
</project>

Try running "ant compile", "ant sendReport" and "ant complete".
