ant tomcat deploy task hangs

I tried to use the catalina ant tasks  to deploy my grails war into tomcat, and it's not working well in hudson.  So, I am just going to do the tried and true method.

/root/local/jakarta-tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28-8080/bin/shutdown.sh

    <target name="deploy" description="--> The deploy target (initially empty)">
         
		<delete dir="${TOMCAT_HOME}/webapps/${ant.project.name}"/>
		<delete file="${TOMCAT_HOME}/webapps/${ant.project.name}.war"/>		
		<copy file="./${ant.project.name}.war" todir="${TOMCAT_HOME}/webapps/"/>

    </target>
