problems with cctimestamp in non-schedule parts of control.xml

Hello,

First some words about my environment:
Win XP, java 1.6, cruise control 2.8.2, ant 1.7.1

to have an easy overview I designed my NBS (nightybuildsystem) to put the cctimestamp into
the name of the directory the NBS is building in.

I do it like this:
<cruisecontrol>

  <!-- sets root directory for the NightlyBuildSystem -->
  <property name="_NBS.dir" value="F:/NightlyBuildSystem"/>
  <property name="_NBS.timestamp" value="${cctimestamp}"/>

...
<!-this buildscript performs the checkout and all building stuff -->
    <schedule interval="3600" >
      <ant antscript="C:/Programme/ANT/bin/ant.bat"
                       buildfile="${_NBS.dir}/build.xml"
                                  target="build_complete"
                                  uselogger="true"
                                  showProgress="true"
                                  showAntOutput="true">
                                  <property name="timestamp" value="${_NBS.timestamp}" />
                               </ant>
                </schedule>

...
<!-add the junit reports to the logs -->
    <log>
                  <merge dir="${_NBS.dir}/NBS-run-${_NBS.timestamp}/developer/irma/temp/junit" />
    </log>

    <publishers>
                  <!-- publish the installers, allclasses jars and buildscript logs-->
                  <antpublisher antscript="C:/Programme/ANT/bin/ant.bat"
                                buildfile="${_NBS.dir}/build.xml"
                                           target="publish"
                                           uselogger="true"
                                           showAntOutput="true">
                    <property name="timestamp" value="${_NBS.timestamp}" />
                    <property name="projectname" value="${project.name}" />
                               <property name="nbsdir" value="${_NBS.dir}" />
      </antpublisher>
    </publishers>

And now my problem:

The ant call in schedule does resolve the timestamp correctly by the value of cctimestamp.
But merge part in log and the ant call in publishers do not resolve this. Instead of a timestamp
I get the string "${cctimestamp}".

The cc-logs prove this:

I also tried a direct reference to cctimestamp in merge and publisher but got the same effect.
Another strange thing is, that cctimestamp is defined in the antcall (see  [-Dcctimestamp=20090612002502]) but does not seem to have any impact.

Do you have any idea how I can

a)      Merge the junit logs, if they are located in a subdir of "NBS-run-${cctimestamp}"

b)      Transport the value of cctimestamp to an antscript in the publishers area
