this is the only relevant output i can find in --debug, and it basically doesn't say anything other than "skipping task because it is up to date". it does pick up the `outputFile` property, but for some reason it still doesn't rerun the task even though i know for a fact that the file doesn't exist

well, no, that doesn't seem to be the case; testing with a small example build file the task does get rerun whenever i delete the output file...
