When I try to update the ignore and wrappers files, I get:
C:\Projects\K2\CVSROOT>cvs commit
cvs commit: Examining .
Checking in cvsignore;
/K2Trading/CVSROOT/cvsignore,v  <--  cvsignore
new revision: 1.13; previous revision: 1.12
done
Checking in cvswrappers;
/K2Trading/CVSROOT/cvswrappers,v  <--  cvswrappers
new revision: 1.9; previous revision: 1.8
done
cvs server: Rebuilding administrative file database
cvs [server aborted]: Failed to obtain lock on 
C:/K2Trading/CVSROOT/modules,v: 001 FAIL Lock not within repository
cvs commit: saving log message in C:\DOCUME~1\vawjr\LOCALS~1\Temp\cvs1B4A.tmp

This is from both a remote machine AND the local machine on which the 
repository exists.
WHY does it want a lock on modules,v ??
