Help with <uptodate >

Help with <uptodate >

I'm trying to use <uptodate> to determine whether to run a zeus task or not. I
want to see if the dtd file zeus uses is newer than the .java files zeus last
generated. I have the following in my build.xml:

<!-- decide if we need to run the zeus task -->
<target name="configUptodate" depends="init"
            description="Update config classes if the dtd has changed">
 <uptodate property="dontRunZeus" srcfile="config.dtd"
     targetfile="${src}/com/broadq/qcaststation/config/*.java"/>
</target>

<target name="zeus" depends="configUptodate" unless="${dontRunZeus}"
  description="make zeus classes">
 <zeus destDir="${src}">
   <constraint type="DTD" constraintFile="config.dtd"
         collapseSimpleElements="true"
    javaPackage="com.broadq.qcaststation.config"/>
 </zeus>
</target>

But the zeus target is always getting run even though the dtd is older than
${src}/com/broadq/qcaststation/config/*.java.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Jason
