Hi Keith, I am new to Ant, but as far as the UNIX goes, when you "su - " you will lose all your shell !!! So what could I do ??? The easy way out is to write a simple shell script with the privileged user does your entire grunt work for you on the specific server. At this point you want to pass the files to the script "owned by the privileged user" and the script does the tar and compressing.
