Jenkins generate nunit report nunit-report.xml

Question

I've configured Jenkins to run nunit-console as described here: Execute NUnit with Jenkins and here: How do you run NUnit tests from Jenkins?

I've added "Execute batch command" as a build step and entered the following values:

%nunit-console% .\BBA\Sources\Projects\BbaUnitTests\bin\BbaUnitTests.dll /xml=.\BBA\Sources\BuildResults\nunit-result.xml /timeout=10000

Everytime I run a build, everything works ok until it gets to this build step, this line shows up and it runs indefinitely and no xml file is generated:

C:\BuildServerFiles\workspace\BBA-71>.\BBA\Sources\Projects\RngUnitTests\bin\BbaUnitTests.dll /xml=.\BBA\Sources\BuildResults\nunit-result.xml /timeout=10000

However, when I execute:

nunit-console .\BBA\Sources\Projects\BbaUnitTests\bin\BbaUnitTests.dll /xml=.\BBA\Sources\BuildResults\nunit-result.xml /timeout=10000

from command prompt it works ok, the xml file gets generated ok. What could be the possible issue here?

I've added this line to nant build script instead of adding a step to jenkins:

formatter type="Xml" outputdir="${main-directory}\BuildResults\" usefile="true" extension=".xml"/>

Making it this:

<target name="build" description="Build Solution and run tests">
        <echo message="Building the release configuration" />
        <exec program="${msbuild}" commandline='"${my-solution}" /v:m /nologo /property:WarningLevel=0 /t:Rebuild /p:Configuration="Release" /p:Platform="Any CPU"' />
        <echo message="Running unit tests" />
        <nunit2>
            <formatter type="Plain" />
            <formatter type="Xml" outputdir="${main-directory}\BuildResults\" usefile="true" extension=".xml"/>
            <test assemblyname="${main-directory}\Projects\MyUnitTests\bin\MyUnitTests.dll">
            </test>
        </nunit2>
    </target>
