I'm trying to deploy a destructiveChanges.xml file. I've updated the file name to accomodate the new pre/post function (http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/daas/Content/daas_destructive_changes.htm): destructiveChangesPre.xml.

Here are the contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <types>
		<members>Activities</members>
		<members>SFDC_Referral_Survey</members>
		<members>Home</members>
		<members>MBO_System</members>
		<members>t_answerType__c</members>
		<members>Case_Assignment__c</members>
		<members>Forecast__c</members>
		<members>Invoice__c</members>
		<members>Landing_Page__c</members>
		<members>Merchandise__c</members>
		<members>t_questionType__c</members>
		<members>Status_Changes__c</members>
		<members>t_surveyInstance__c</members>
		<members>t_surveyResult__c</members>
		<members>t_surveyType__c</members>
		<members>t_metric__c</members>
		<names>CustomTab</names>
	</types>
	<types>
		<members>MBOSystem</members>
		<name>CustomApplicationConsole</name>
	</types>
    <version>33.0</version>
</Package>

The server was just updated to the Summer 15 release (API v 34.0).

I have a package.xml file as described:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <version>33.0</version>
</Package>

I run the following target via ANT to use the Metadata API:

<target name="vDeployDev1">
      <sf:deploy username="${sf.undev1}" password="${sf.pwdev1}" serverurl="${sf.urldev1}" deployRoot="src" rollbackOnError="true" ignoreWarnings="true" checkOnly="true" purgeOnDelete="true"/>
</target>

I authenticate but the deployment fails:

C:\Users\gazaino\Projects\Release_15-5-1>ant vDeployDev1
Buildfile: C:\Users\gazaino\Projects\Release_15-5-1\build.xml

vDeployDev1:

If I remove the destructiveChangesPre.xml file from my src folder, it deploys successfully - so I'm assuming the error is in the destructiveChangesPre.xml file.

Is anyone else running into this issue? Is it a bug in the new release? Am I missing something in my deployment files? I copied everything from prior releases where the deployment worked, so I'm assuming it's a bug. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
