Hi Juergen,
Read the docs on the property task.

You want "refid" instead of "location".

<property name="local.filesetlist"

                  refid="local.fileset1,local.fileset2" />

Quote: 
"location - Sets the property to the absolute filename of the given file."
"refid  - Reference to an object defined elsewhere. Only yields reasonable results for references to PATH like structures or properties."
