The problem is the rename after it's built the file - cvs creates _new_foo.txt, which is non-atomic (which is why it's done as a temporary file) then does a single atomic rename to foo.txt. NAV erroneously opens the temporary file to virus scan it (even if, it seems, it's been told not to) so the rename fails. Repeating the rename (with suitable annoying warnings about broken AV scanners) sounds like it could work, but it doesn't, due to a quirk of the NT locking system I haven't got a handle on yet. Tony
