UNC paths are so troublesome...
You could try with <property location=""> instead of using the value attribute.
If that doesn't work, you could force the script user(s) to map it to
a drive letter.
If that doesn't work, resort to <exec> using the DOS "cmd" shell as
executable and using a DOS command to delete the dir (if you use
absolute UNC paths, you're likely Windows only, no? If not, the os
attribute of Exec can restrict the <exec> for a specific OS like
windows).
