Build fails with error "Could not create task or type of type: eclipse.buildScript"

Hi I just switched our build over from eclipse 3.2 and ANT 1.6.5 to build against eclipse 3.4 using ANT 1.7. I set the environment variable ANT_HOME (to the 1.7 install folder) and changed PATH to include %ANT_HOME%\bin. But when I run the build it falls over when it gets to the point of gener
