Hm. Your login (rtsuk) is listed as a scribia developer with CVS write on
the project page. (I cannot seem to get to it right now - network trouble -
but I checked yesterday when your first email arrived.)

Which CVS application are you using MacCVS (the WinCVS port) or MacCVS Pro
(from Netscape, I think)? (Both worked for me, though.)

What does that warning say? Is there a more detailed error message
available?

Are you sure you're using a fresh tree checked out as rtsuk, with a new CVS
project file if the application needs one? CVS stores information about the
checkout persistently in either CVS subdirectories in each tree, or in the
resource fork of the files themselves. So just changing the settings in the
CVS project file may fail, maybe there's still incorrect settings lurking
somewhere...
