I would probably do this a different way. What is the shell script for? What about the particular java task in your build file are you trying to preserve? If you really need to do this you'd probably have an easier time extending the Java task and grabbing its command line to write your shell script... the way you have gone about this hooks you into Ant's underpinnings in such a way that I couldn't begin to count how many things could go wrong.
