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.
