On UNIX (MacOS):
$ cat lib/tasks/Raketest/Rakefile
task :default do
  sh "cd Child;rake"
end
$ cd lib/tasks/Raketest/
$ rake
(in /Users/bush/Src/Rails/sample/lib/tasks/Raketest)
cd Child;rake
(in /Users/bush/Src/Rails/sample/lib/tasks/Raketest/Child)
Child Rake Default task
$ rake --version
rake, version 0.8.1

My guess is that it has something to do with the way OS commands are 
being executed under Windows.  Can you run "cd Child; rake" like that 
from the Windows prompt and get the right thing?
