Oh I get it now! You're running ant from inside VIM. Therefore, the swap files exist. You can add them to your default excludes. I had to do that because in our CVS, someone put a bunch of empty .keepme files. I guess the idea is to keep the directory if there was no files in it.
Simple enough to do.
