OpenVMS javacvs client to Linux CVS server problem.

Hi,
 I've started to move my code across from Linux to OpenVMS and I seem to be
getting some directory issues. It looks like the server is confused (Intel
Mandrake 8.0, kernel 2.4.3 CVS 1.11) but why any help would be much
appreciated.


I believe I've traced it to the basiccommand.java where the
addArgumentRequests() happens. I'm calling my CVSClient code like this:
CVSClient cvs = new
CVSClient("/DISK$EXTELDISK9/fts_web_top/fts_test/fts_web/live/text/fts2/engl
ish/", "EXTEL$DEV_USERS/TAYLOR_R/", out, true);
where /DISK$EXTELDISK9/fts_web_top/fts_test/fts_web/live/text/fts2/english/
is the path to the directory of the file I'm trying to update and 
EXTEL$DEV_USERS/TAYLOR_R/ is my home directory, both of these are being
found and cvs gets the cvspassword and finds the CVS/Repository.

When I try to update the file an error returns stating the following:
MessageEvent getMessage String: cvs [server aborted]: absolute pathname
`/DISK$EXTELDISK9/fts_web_top/fts_test/fts_web/live/text/fts2/english/'
illegal for server

I've tried hard coding the file in VMS format
DISK$EXTELDISK9:[fts_web_top.fts_test.fts_web.live.text.fts2.english]head.tx
t which returns this error:
MessageEvent setMessage String: cvs server: nothing known about
DISK$EXTELDISK9:[fts_web_top.fts_test.fts_web.live.text.fts2.english]head.tx
t

This is the code in basiccommand.java that I hard coded the vms format path
to the file. 
    protected void addArgumentRequests() {
        if (files == null) {
            return;   
        }

        for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
            final File file = files[i];
            System.out.println("BC: addArgumentRequests: file "+file);
            String relativePath = getRelativeToLocalPathInUnixStyle(file);
            System.out.println("BC: addArgumentRequests: relativePath:
"+relativePath);
            requests.add(new
ArgumentRequest("DISK$EXTELDISK9:[fts_web_top.fts_test.fts_web.live.text.fts
2.english]head.txt"));
            //requests.add(new ArgumentRequest(relativePath));
        }
    }
