It is a known problem. If the lib location is present but not accessible, ant will give this null pointer exception.
There was some discussion on the dev list but I cannot remember if a fix went in.
The "access denied" message implies that the "dist.dir" is not a good location
to place the build.

please help me if you can or have sorted already my same problem with ant.
Following instructions on the installation manual, I do all things described
in installation but not able to build ant since the build -Ddist.dir=3D ain_Ant_distribution>
dist command has the following response: access denied. When I type the ant
command from the dos prompt I have this response:
Access denied is not good. You should sort that out before proceeding. Also it helps when you ask this sort of question to state what environment you are using - things like what OS, what JDK, where you got the Ant source from, etc. "dos prompt" can mean so many things.
