This sounds as if there was some classloader involved that cached information. Ant's own ClassLoader usually doesn't, but it extends URLClassloader. I know that for some JDKs Java used to drop directories from classloaders that don't exist when the classloader is created. Can you perform an Ant clean, manually create build/classes and then run "ant"? If this works, then it really means the directory has been dropped. If it doesn't work, then we need to investigate where you create the <path> (and see whether you can defer creating it) and if any other tasks use it.
