    This is probably happening because by default, Ant excludes + SourceSafe control files (vssver.scc) and other + files from FileSets.

    Here's what you probably did:

    +
    + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 
    +<delete>
+  <fileset dir="${build.src}" includes="**/vssver.scc"/>
+</delete>
+
    +
    +

    You need to switch off the default exclusions and it will work:

    +
    + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 
    +<delete>
+  <fileset dir="${build.src}" includes="**/vssver.scc"
+           defaultexcludes="no"/>
+</delete>
+
    +
    +

    For a complete listing of the patterns thate are excluded + by default, see the user + manual.
