I mentioned the same problem just 2 days ago. It's even more complex, it
depends on the task, some tasks understand that you are in a subdir, others
not.

As a workaround:

    place
        <property name=""projectTop" value=".."/>
    in build.xml (project directory)

    and
        <property name="projectTop" value="../.." />
    in build.xml in test directory


    then you can access any file in the projectTop dir from within
build.xml
in test directory

    with ${projectTop}/filename.

This works since projectTop will not be overwritten when the test build.xml
is called from the project build.xml

hope this helps

P.S. Perhaps the values of projectTop have to be changed, I didn't quite
understand where your build.template file is placed.
