Problem with sshexec task: reject HostKey

Problem with sshexec task: reject HostKey

I am using the sshexec task in the following build.xml, under XP Pro

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project default="sshtry" >
   <target name="sshtry">
       <sshexec
           host="xxx.com"
           username="root"
           password="matbeers"
           command="ls" />
   </target>
</project>

From which I get the following console output:

E:\swd\devt\eclipseWkspce\Sysadmin\tomcat\ant\ssh-stuff>ant
Buildfile: build.xml

sshtry:
 [sshexec] Connecting to xxx.com:22

BUILD FAILED
E:\swd\devt\eclipseWkspce\Sysadmin\tomcat\ant\ssh-stuff\build.xml:9:
com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: reject HostKey

Total time: 3 seconds
E:\swd\devt\eclipseWkspce\Sysadmin\tomcat\ant\ssh-stuff>

The host xxx.com (obfuscated) has a working ssh server that I am able to
invoke using putty
(from the same workstation as the above sshexec attempt), or openssh on
my linux
workstation. In both cases I'm using the default password
authentication, which
is what I wanted to do using sshexec.

Questions
1. What does reject HostKey mean ?
2. Might putty and sshexec/jsch be in conflict, occupying the same
workstation?
3. Are there any preparatory configuration steps for use of sshexec that
I have missed.
   It took me a while to figure out that the jsch.jar is not included
in the ant-1.6.2 dist,
   perhaps there is something else I should have set up.

Bill.
