Narrative:
I was performing my first run -- taxi IOE on the aircraft. Co-worker was in the right seat as a check run man. We were to take aircraft X to the hangar from gate. We taxied to spot on the ramp; and were contacted by dfw ground. We were directed to taxi right on taxiway G then left on taxiway Z then hold short runway 18L. We complied and were holding short at runway 18L on taxiway Z. I then hear 2 calls on the ground frequency saying 'rj on zulu' (not using my call sign). I said to co-worker 'call ground; I think they're calling us;' and co-worker called ground and said who and where we were. Ground called us back saying to cross runway 18L; and hold short runway 18R on taxiway Z; and co-worker read back the instructions. At this time I cleared left and then looked to the right and saw an aircraft to the north that appeared to be taking off. Co-worker said we are cleared to cross. I then stopped the aircraft with the nose tires across the hold line. Ground called us saying to stop. Ground called and asked if we crossed the hold line. Co-worker said yes. Ground said to cross runway 18L and hold short runway 18R; and we complied. Ground then said to cross runway 18R on taxiway Z and continue to the hangar; and then call the tower on the phone. I complied. I spoke to the tower supervisor. He said the incursion was the fault of the ATC controller; and the incursion report would reflect that.

Title: DFW MAINT CREW ON TAXI CHECK OUT WAS INVOLVED IN RWY EVENT WHEN CTLR ISSUED RWY CROSSING CLRNC WITH ACFT ON TKOF ROLL.
Narrative: I WAS PERFORMING MY FIRST RUN -- TAXI IOE ON THE ACFT. CO-WORKER WAS IN THE R SEAT AS A CHK RUN MAN. WE WERE TO TAKE ACFT X TO THE HANGAR FROM GATE. WE TAXIED TO SPOT ON THE RAMP; AND WERE CONTACTED BY DFW GND. WE WERE DIRECTED TO TAXI R ON TXWY G THEN L ON TXWY Z THEN HOLD SHORT RWY 18L. WE COMPLIED AND WERE HOLDING SHORT AT RWY 18L ON TXWY Z. I THEN HEAR 2 CALLS ON THE GND FREQ SAYING 'RJ ON ZULU' (NOT USING MY CALL SIGN). I SAID TO CO-WORKER 'CALL GND; I THINK THEY'RE CALLING US;' AND CO-WORKER CALLED GND AND SAID WHO AND WHERE WE WERE. GND CALLED US BACK SAYING TO CROSS RWY 18L; AND HOLD SHORT RWY 18R ON TXWY Z; AND CO-WORKER READ BACK THE INSTRUCTIONS. AT THIS TIME I CLRED L AND THEN LOOKED TO THE R AND SAW AN ACFT TO THE N THAT APPEARED TO BE TAKING OFF. CO-WORKER SAID WE ARE CLRED TO CROSS. I THEN STOPPED THE ACFT WITH THE NOSE TIRES ACROSS THE HOLD LINE. GND CALLED US SAYING TO STOP. GND CALLED AND ASKED IF WE CROSSED THE HOLD LINE. CO-WORKER SAID YES. GND SAID TO CROSS RWY 18L AND HOLD SHORT RWY 18R; AND WE COMPLIED. GND THEN SAID TO CROSS RWY 18R ON TXWY Z AND CONTINUE TO THE HANGAR; AND THEN CALL THE TWR ON THE PHONE. I COMPLIED. I SPOKE TO THE TWR SUPVR. HE SAID THE INCURSION WAS THE FAULT OF THE ATC CTLR; AND THE INCURSION RPT WOULD REFLECT THAT.
