[Subclipse-users] svnant no longer working

I have upgraded subclipse to 1.1.8 & tortoise to 1.4, so my local svn
files are at svn 1.4 level.
 
When I run an ant build it complains about files not being under version
control.
So, I figured, I should get the latest svnant and use that. So I have
checked it out and built it and now the svn tasks are running (i.e. no
longer complaining about files not being under version control), but
*my* getLatestRevision task (below) just no longer works.
 
The task is defined as:
<target name="getLatestRevisionNumber" depends="svn.init">
<echo message="svn.javahl:${svn.javahl}" />
<echo message="svn.username:${svn.username}" />
<echo message="svn.password:${svn.password}" />
<svn javahl="${svn.javahl}" username="${svn.username}"
password="${svn.password}">
<status path="${co.dir}"
lastChangedRevisionProperty="svn.lastCommitRevision"/>
</svn>
<property name="svn.tag"
value="${buildDate}_${svn.lastCommitRevision}"/>
</target>

 
I have added the echo messages for debugging.
 
When I was using subclipse 1.1.6 and an old version of svnant, this
worked a treat:
getLatestRevisionNumber:
[echo] svn.javahl:false
[echo] svn.username:${svn.username}
[echo] svn.password:${svn.password}
[svn] Using javasvn
Svn : Status
[echo] svn.rev:1418

When I run the same target using the latest (svnant/trunk) code, I
always get back an empty string, never the revision number.

getLatestRevisionNumber:
     [echo] svn.javahl:true
     [echo] svn.username:xxx
     [echo] svn.password:xxx
      [svn] Using javasvn
      [svn] <Status> started ...
      [svn] <Status> finished.
     [echo] svn.rev:

I have tried setting svn.javahl=true which makes no difference. I also
tried feeding in a valid user/password which also made no difference.

Is svnant (status) compatible with 1.4?

Am I doing something wrong?
