I use a persistent variable to store the actual build number.  
  
With the IDE everything works fine, but when i try to schedule a build with the command line version it resets the variable to the default value.  
Running the same project via scheduler using the IDE-Version works!  
  
Ok, its a workaround to use the IDE-Version everytime but so the commandline becomes useless.

Would you consider fixing this for version 4?

Hi Sean,  
  
Yes, we put the fix into 4 but hadn’t done a test build until this morning. Here it is:

Thanks for the fix Angus, but there is still a problem.  
  
The peristent variables work fine, but it appears that the variables passed in on the command line are now being ignored.

Hi Sean  
  
I was able to reproduce this here. I will try to get a fix in today and kick off a build, I’ll post here when I have a build with the fix.
