Ant copy does not preserve file permissions. From the online doc:

"Unix Note: File permissions are not retained when files are copied; 
they end up with the default UMASK permissions instead. This is 
caused by the lack of any means to query or set file permissions in 
the current Java runtimes. If you need a permission-preserving copy 
function, use <exec executable="cp" ... > instead."
