Mystery for a cvsgui expert

My WinCVS app just got messed up for some strange reason; perhaps someone out there can help me solve this mystery and then fix the issue, based on the following clues.

- It happened right after I used the "Recursive Add" macro. Some of the files were added but then a bunch of errors started streaming out, and many of the files were not added.

- The error messages were primarily this one, which others have experienced when using a ":pserver" host type (NOTE that I am only using a local CVS ROOT):

"[ERROR] cvs add: warning: unrecognized response `'ssh' is not recognized as an internal or external command,' from cvs server
cvs add: warning: unrecognized response `operable program or batch file.' from cvs server
cvs [add aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)"

- I realized that I had not yet configured one of the file types I was trying add, using the "Recursive Add Options" utility. However, setting this type among the appropriate "Default Unicode Extensions" did not resolve the issue upon a reattempt.

- During the recursive add attempt I selected to ignore certain file extensions, like ".log".

- During the recursive add attempt I also selected to "autocommit", adding a commit message.

- A subsequent commit of the files that *were* added succeeded.

- Unfortunately, all attempts to add recursively to the repository now fail with the "ssh" error pasted above.

- An attempt to add a single file with the Admin > Command Line utility failed with the following (very strange) error message:

"cvs -d :local:/Users/Administrator/Repos/CVS add CA_ECBrain_Thought_Edit.cls (in directory C:\EC Dev\Module\framework\base\actions)
cvs [add aborted]: Directory /Users/Administrator/Repos/CVS/pw/frame/base/actions does not exist on the server"

What is strange here is that there I never specified any such path that had "pw/frame/base/actions" in it. It should be as described in the first part of the output, "framework/base/actions". Where did it get this "pw/frame/base" thing from?

- The only coincidence about the point above is that *one* of the many files that did *not* get added correctly was called "PW_Frame.cls". And ".cls" was one of the extension types that I had failed to tell WinCVS was a "Default Unicode Extension" type. I'm not sure if that's related at all, but note the similar pattern between this file name and that strange path that seems to have come out of no where, and is not recognized.


Does anyone have any ideas about what may be going on here, based on the above clues? WinCVS seemed to be in a bad state now, and if I can't add files, I will have to abandon any how of using this system.

Thanks in advance.
