Hey Harvey,

The *modificationset->cvs* looks like it's only checking for modifications
on HEAD, since it doesn't look like you're specifying which branch to check
for modifications against.  Since my builds usually keep the CVS sandbox
copy (rather than clean and checkout on every build), I use the *cvs* target
with the *localworkingcopy* attribute.  That points the task to your
checkout copy, which already contains both the CVS repository info *and the
CVS branch (if any)*.  I see you specify the branch in your buildfile's
"build" target, but remember, that doesn't get executed unless *
modificationset* detects some code changes.

Bottom line, I think your *modificationset* is checking for changes only
against HEAD, not against your branch...  hope that helps.
