[Cvs-syncmail] "Permission denied" for syncmail

[[TOM] <to...@xs...>]

Howdy,

I tried to get syncmail running on SF for our project phpcms. But I only 
get a

     sh: /cvsroot/phpcms/CVSROOT/syncmail: Permission denied


What I've done (I used Debian):

1. I checkout CVSROOT to a local directory:

2. I add the line "syncmail" to checkoutlist

3. I add

   DEFAULT $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/syncmail -u %{sVv} nz...@us...

   to loginfo

4. I commit checkoutlist and loginfo

5. Copy syncmail to my local CVSROOT directory

6. $ chmod a+x ./syncmail

7. $ cvs add ./syncmail

8. $ cvs commit -m "Syncmail added" ./syncmail

I got a "cvs server: Rebuilding administrative database". But when I 
commit an other file to test syncmail, I got the error "sh: 
/cvsroot/phpcms/CVSROOT/syncmail: Permission denied"

I used the actual syncmail from CVS so I tested the new -m switch to use 
an other mail host.

I don't know the user CVS use to execute the script. The files described 
above are available at 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/phpcms/CVSROOT/.

Maybe somebody knows this problem and can give me a hint. I didn't find 
anything in the mail archive.

thx

[TOM]
