This is the problem.  The documentation you're reading is no doubt for 
version 0.85.  I suggest downloading the latest available nightly build

PS  The NAnt mailing list has chosen to not set the reply-to header to 
go back to the list, which means we need to do this manually.  When 
replying to posts on the list, I suggest using Reply-All, remove the 
addresses of the people (so they don't get two emails), and, if 
necessary, change the nant-users address to To: from CC:.  I've sent 
this reply back to the list so that everyone could see the answer.
