svnant status returning wrong results

Question

I am using svnant and using the status task.

When i use the tortoisesvn status on the command prompt in windows 7 in the basedir of my repo, i get the following:

M  Build\build.xml
M  Build\otherStuff.txt

But when i use svnant's status task i get:

svn.status.textStatusProperty = normal
svn.status.propStatusProperty = normal

I would expect it to return this:

svn.status.textStatusProperty = modified
svn.status.propStatusProperty = modified

---

When i go into the Build directory and do the same thing i get the following with tortoisesvn:

M  build.xml
M  otherStuff.txt

And the following with svnant's status task:

svn.status.textStatusProperty = unversioned
svn.status.propStatusProperty = non-svn

That is really strange, because the Build directory is definitely versioned.

---

What is going on? What am i doing wrong?

I am trying to find a quick way to check for modifications in my local copy of the svn repo. I know about the wcversion, but that task takes too long to execute. I was hoping to use something else that is much quicker.

My code for the scenarios, the only thing that changes between the scenarios is the path="${basedir}". It changes to point to the basedir or the Build directory. The basedir is my repo base.

    <svnSetting
    svnkit="false"
    javahl="false"
    id="svn.settings"/>

    <svn refid="svn.settings">  
        <status 
            path="${basedir}"
            textStatusProperty="testStatus.textStatus" 
            propStatusProperty="testStatus.propStatus" 
        />
    </svn>

    <echo>svn.status.textStatusProperty = ${testStatus.textStatus}</echo>
    <echo>svn.status.propStatusProperty = ${testStatus.propStatus}</echo></echo>
