I think this have to do with the shell that you are using. If I have
shell-file-name set to bash.exe (from cygwin), the single quotes worked fine.
But if I have shell-file-name set to the default cmdproxy.exe, I get the same
complain as ZhangYin.

You should be able to reproduce the error by running cmd.exe and keying in the
exact ant command line there, eg.

ant -Dant.home=c:/java/apache-ant-1.6.2 -buildfile
'c:/home/jde-dev/jmath/build.xml' -emacs clean 

Is there any particular reason that single quotes are used? Since I thought
double quotes are usually universal.
