I've never used <redirector> yet either ;-)
The redirection "operators" you are using are not interpreted by the
jsmin.exe command, but by the shell that invokes the command; the
shell hooks bigfile.js to stdin and smallfile.js to stdout for the
executed command (jsmin.exe). Here, your <apply> calls directly
jsmin.exe, and bypasses the shell, so it doesn't work.
See http://ant.apache.org/faq.html#shell-redirect-2 for details.
Using <redirector> would probably make your script more portable, but
I can't help you there. --DD
