Sorry, I should have given you more detail.  It does exactly what it says.  When the build fails (i.e. a target that isn't set for onfailure="false" fails) or finishes with success, it immediately calls the target specified.  In my example, it would call either the onsuccess or onfailure targets.  Very useful to me because I want to send emails, unlock files in StarTeam, scan logs... for onfailure, but not for success.

This smells of some NAnt-ness quite foreign to Ant.  Personally speaking, I need more information about what these properties are supposed to do before I can offer any useful advice.
