Using "-f [path-to-buildfile]" worked, but it seems like there should be a
way for me to do this without resorting to absolute paths.  Shouldn't this
be somewhat portable?

My main concern is that everyone else on my team has this working just the
way it is, and I do not.  It seems like it must be a versioning issue or
environment issue, not the way the build.xml is structured...
