Hi all,

Issuing
cvs chown mwake
using cvsnt-2.0.58d

from within a sandbox containing the CVSROOT directory results in a 
malformed fileattr.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<fileattr>
   <directory>
     <acl user="mwake">
       <control />
       <create />
       <read />
       <tag />
       <write />
     </acl>
   </directory>
   <directory/owner>mwake</directory/owner>
</fileattr>

cvs lsacl results in the following output

cvs lsacl: warning: unrecognized response `Error in xml_read: not 
well-formed (invalid token) at line 11' from cvs server
cvs lsacl: warning: unrecognized response `Error in xml_read: not 
well-formed (invalid token) at line 11' from cvs server
cvs lsacl: warning: unrecognized response `Error in xml_read: not 
well-formed (invalid token) at line 11' from cvs server
cvs [server aborted]: Malformed fileattr.xml file in /Blah/CVSROOT/CVS. 
  Please fix or delete this file

Cheers
Mikew
