You were correct, the problem was the quotes in the properties file.  First
thank you to everyone who read through my bug report and helped me to solve my
issue!!  Also thanks for all the development on Ant, it is a great tool!    

In an effort to make it better/easier to use I can think of a couple things.

The first thing that would have helped me out would be if the verbose output for
ant had been a little more helpful and showed the command how it would have been
run.  Then I could have seen that the quotes were causing the problem when I
tried to run the output.

Instead of outputing something like:

     [java] Executing 'F:\program files\j2sdk14204\jre\bin\java.exe' with 
arguments:
     [java] '-Xdebug'
     [java] '-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,suspend=n,server=y,address=20501'
     [java] '-jar'
     [java] 'C:\projects\scjd\release-temp\runme.jar'
     [java] 'server'

Could you not output something like:

     [java] F:\program files\j2sdk14204\jre\bin\java.exe" "-Xdebug
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,suspend=n,server=y,address=20501" -jar
C:\projects\scjd\release-temp\runme.jar server

or is there really no easy way to output the commandline equivalent of the call
in the verbose output?

The final thing that might be nice is if on the using page
http://ant.apache.org/manual/using.html you had a little excerpt of code like
comment #5 of this bug showing how to use a basic property file to propagate
values to ant and commenting on how using quotes around your values is
unnecessary and can lead to problems.  Even just the little example would likely
be quite helpful as this feature is quite useful.

Thanks again!
