The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.

Wow, that is like asking for several years of experience of working with Ant to be summed up in a brief forum post. First, I recommend you do some reading - I highly recommend Ant in Action. I have an earlier addition of that book and I found it invaluable. Second, look at build scripts that others have done - I would offer the ones that I have for JBoss in Action, but they are a little complex for a beginner. Many open source projects use Ant build scripts (though many open osurcep rojects ar heading towards using Maven.) Finally, just play with Ant. Write lots of scripts. Between looking at other's scripts and writing your own you will develop a set of best practices that work for you. (I occasionally have the misfortune of having to look at some of my earlier build scripts, and shudder at some of the things I did in them, but hey, they worked!)
