Including an Ant build script from actual parent directory of a linked directory

I have a problem including an Ant build script from a parent directory. Because I need to develop a custom component for a 3rd party software, I have a project directory structure set up as follows:

/repos/HG REPO/Component  // repo for my component
/repos/GIT REPO/contrib/contrib-build.xml  // 3rd party software repo & build script
/repos/GIT REPO/contrib/[symlink to Component]/build.xml // My components build script

Now I need to import contrib-build.xml from build.xml, so in build.xml I would use:

<import file="../contrib-build.xml"/>

However, this causes error as it tries to find the file from 

/repos/HG REPO/contrib-build.xml

How can I access the file without giving an absolute path for the import file argument? If I take that path then one would have to manually remember to set it on another dev setup.

The error is folder naming. Ant does not allow space inside directory name. Try to change 

/repos/HG_REPO/contrib.build.xml

instead of 

/repos/HG REPO/contrib.build.xml

Have you tried? 

<import file="../../GIT REPO/contrib/contrib-build.xml"/>
