Note that if I only use the "//" instead of the "///", I get the following 
exception on the catalina-install task:

catalina-install:
[catalina-install] FAIL - Encountered exception java.io.IOException: 
java.net.Un
knownHostException: D


BUILD FAILED
file:./catalina-tasks.incl:82: FAIL - Encountered exception 
java.io.IOException:
  java.net.UnknownHostException: D

This is with the path...

file://D:/myclasses/Repository/Enhydra/BarracudaMVC_2003-01-15/Barracuda/WEB-INF/ccf.xml

If I add the 3rd "/" to that and use the following, it works just fine...

file:///D:/myclasses/Repository/Enhydra/BarracudaMVC_2003-01-15/Barracuda/WEB-INF/ccf.xml

Try setting your URL to have the 3rd forward slash and see if it works.  I 
bet it does.  If "ant catalina-install" works for you with the Barracuda 
distro, then it does since that is the path that is getting generated via 
the "app.ccf" property.

Moral of the story....Even if only 2 forward slashes works on Unix, it is 
not portable to Windows and 3 forward slashes work on both platforms.  So, 
use the 3 forward slashes for maximum compatibility.
