ant fileset cannot find directory which does exist

Question

I'm running an ant build from Hudson (Ubuntu). The build fails saying:

/var/lib/hudson/jobs/Genesys Multimedia RC/workspace/current/build.xml:34: /var/lib/hudson/jobs/Genesys Multimedia RC/workspace/current/Thirdparty/current does not exist.

Extract of build.xml:

<property name="extraDir" location="Thirdparty" />
<property name="J323ClearJarDir" location="${extraDir}/JRC/Thirdparty/J323/dist" />
<property name="JavaThirdPartyJarDir" location="${extraDir}/current" />
<property name="genesys_jars" location="lib" />

<!--Set the libs needed for compulation-->
<path id="lib">
    <fileset dir="${genesys_jars}" includes="*.jar" />
    <fileset dir="${JavaThirdPartyJarDir}" includes="*.jar" />
    <fileset dir="${frameworkClearJarsDir}" includes="*.jar" />
    <fileset dir="${J323ClearJarDir}" includes="*.jar" />
    <fileset dir="${jrcClearJarDir}" includes="*.jar" />
</path>

That directory DOES exist however.

And this same build script was working on Hudson (Windows).

Oh what could the matter be?

Linux's filesystem is case sensitive. The directory is ThirdParty whilst the property was referring to Thirdparty.
