This is not quite correct. If you make the "CopyBRBuildArtifacts" target depend on the "prepare" target, then the *project-wide* properties, once created by prepare, would be still available to CopyBRBuildArtifacts.
Do like: <target name="CopyBRBuildArtifacts" depends="prepare"> The ordering of your target execution seems wrong.

Properties only exist within the scope of the parent tag (in this case in the target you declared it in). You have to explicitly pass it to a new target.
