Ant Invalid username, password, security token; or user locked out

Question

I am using ANT to build an xml file but get the following error:

Error:[LoginFault [ApiFault exceptionCode='INVALID_LOGIN' exceptionMessage='Invalid username, password, security token; or user locked out.' extendedErrorDetails='{[0]}

I did the following

- Whitelisted IP
- Simplified my password
- Tried password with token
- Soql PermissionSetAssignment ModifyAllData = true, was true for user

The user login settings shows

Partner Product Invalid Password    Force.com Migration Tool    login.salesforce.com

Build.properties

sf.username = username
sf.password = pasword

sfprod.serverurl =  https://login.salesforce.com
sfsandbox.serverurl = https://test.salesforce.com

sf.maxPoll = 20

For anyone who may bump into this.In my case() the $ sign was missing in password="{sf.password}" this needed to be password="${sf.password}"
