This is strange, I’ve not encountered any issues like this before.

Could you clarify what you mean by

If I run the "Clean" target as you show above, I get an error: "The element beneath element is unrecognized." The VS2005 product proclaims this when it is coded, in fact. Oddly enough, if I move the ItemGroup to directly under the Project node, it runs successfully, even though VS2005 it says "BinFiles" is an invalid element. Hmmm.
