I am trying to create a branch on a given tag in a given project. I get the
following error when I issue the command:

C:\projects\Practice>cvs rtag -b -r T_curt_1 BR_TEST_CREATE_MODULE Practice
cvs [rtag aborted]: could not chdir to /Engineering/flexengine_sec:
Permission denied

I have created windows user groups on a per project bases. The person
issuing the command does not have permission on other projects. He does have
permission for the "Practice" project. It seems like rtag is trying to
access more than just the project called out on the command line. 

1. Does rtag try to access all the projects, not just the "Practice" project
that is called out in the command line? 

2. If yes, is this proper operation or a bug that's going to get fixed?

3. Is there another single command line equivalent I can try to get around
this problem? (I don't want to have to update my local copy to the tag and
then issue a branch command relative to what's in my sandbox.)

Thanks,
Curt
