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

It seems to just be a random file, ie different one each time.

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??

Thanks

Matt
