You could have a look at its source
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/ant/core/trunk/src/main/org/apache/tools/an
t/taskdefs/optional/clearcase/ClearCase.java?view=3Dannotate
Line 134 is
   exe.setWorkingDirectory(aProj.getBaseDir());
aProj is initialized on 130
   Project aProj =3D getProject();
That method is inherited from ProjectComponent (Task base class extends
that) which returns the project reference needed for logging, properties
etc.

You havent set that value.
   ckout.setProject(...);
