Have you tried executing 'rlog' by hand to see what output it actually
produces?  Give this a shot:

   $ rlog /usr/local/rancid/var/CVS/xxxxxx/router.db,v

IIRC, ViewVC is going to be looking for the first line of output to be:

   RCS file: /usr/local/rancid/var/CVS/xxxxxx/router.db,v

If that's not what 'rcs' prints, we'll need to figure out why.

I don't believe that's accurate.  It might need 'x' on the directories, but
not on the ,v files.
