Thank you for you answer, Antoine. But you don't understand me. EAHOME and DNAME are parameters for this build file (it's ok). BUILD SUCCESSFUL - so everything (almost) works.
But utility ProductIndexer creates several files (some its output) which shall contain symbol '$'. But instead of this symbol they contain balderdash. At the same time if I execute ProductIndexer out of ant process (just call it from command line) its output doesn't have troubles with '$'. So it is the problem: output of command line utility executed with <exec> _during ant process_ contains rubbish instead of symbol '$'.

If you are dealing with environment variables, you need to add a line in your build.xml saying <property environment="env"/> you can then access EAHOME or DNAME (supposing these are env vars) like this dir="${env.EAHOME}/sysiq2/temp/${env.DNAME}_temp" ...
