Tommy,
I know where the error is my real problem is the property friving
the selector
needs to be a comma separated list which describes the configurations to
deploy. I want to use that value to drive the copy. In other words changing
the comma separated values to resemble a patternset pattern is not an option.
So that leaves me with few options. I can define some custom task to do a
regex replace on the property value appending "/**/*" sequences on each entry
or I can use beanshell with a script task to do the same. Neither of those
options are what I consider appealing. I thought I might be overlooking some
simple functionality in Ant when I ran into the problem but it just doesn't
seem to easy to copy directories specified in a CSV list without exposing
patternset syntax to the creator of the list.
This will load the file and do the replacements:
<project default="default">
<target name="default">
<loadfile srcfile="confs-to-deploy.csv"
property="confs-to-deploy-pattern">
<filterchain>
<tokenfilter>
<linetokenizer/>
<replaceregex pattern="([^,]+),?"
flags="g"
replace="\1/** "/>
</tokenfilter>
</filterchain>
</loadfile>
<echo>${confs-to-deploy-pattern}</echo>
</target>
</project>

Or if you already have the property and you're open to AntContrib
tasks, you can use the PropertyRegex to do the replacements:
<project default="default">
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml">
<classpath>
<pathelement
location="../lib/build/ant-contrib-1.0b2/lib/ant-contrib.jar"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
<target name="default">
<property name="confs-to-deploy" value="default,debug,prod"/>
<propertyregex property="confs-to-deploy-pattern"
input="${confs-to-deploy}"
regexp="([^,]+),?"
replace="\1/** " />
<echo>${confs-to-deploy-pattern}</echo>
</target>
</project>
