We have a script which does some overnight builds. It runs through various check-ins, check-outs and tagging. Most of it works fine but we are getting some odd errors on the tagging stage. Its tagging 200+ files and it gets to one of the files and gives the following error : Unable to rename file /cvs/project/code/Directory/Subdirectory/anotherone/,randomfile.cpp, to /cvs/project/code/Directory/Subdirectory/anotherone/randomfile.cpp,v for 1 second, still trying...

I have given 'everyone' full access to the whole repository and it still happens. It only ever happens on the tagging stage. It sometimes goes away if we run the script over and over, but again it seems to be random when it fails or works. We are running CVSNT v.2.5.03 Build 2382 on Win2k3 Any ideas what's going wrong??
