Martin,
thanks.
run 'svn help', works fine.
ant seems recognize 'svn', this is the result from ant:
svn:
    [exec] Type 'svn help' for usage.
    [exec] Result: 1

I use winxp, what's the compatible command for 'which' on windows?

This is an ant question please post to ant-users or ant-developers

I would take this a step at a time
what does the command 'which svn' return?

go to shell run
svn
does it run ok?

run svn via the exec task within ant build.xml
does ant locate the the svn?

properties files
I would  use the absolute path e.g. /AbsolutePath to find the property file as 
here
 <property name="deploy.svn.svn-dir"         
location="/usr/local/svn-plugins-deploy"/>
This means the /usr/local/svn-plugins-deploy folder MUST EXIST
