Bug report with test repository for conversion failure

I narrowed down my failure to a copy of my repository.  I destroyed most of the
repository with destroy_repository.py, but manually mangled filenames (since 
when it mangled filenames, the problem disappeared).  It does still
*seem* to be a space in filename issue even though I have one other folder
that I *didn't* remove that has an item with a space in its name, and that
still converts.

1) I'm using cvs2svn-2.4.0
2) python --version fails, but python -v shows among a bunch of other stuff
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Mar 30 2006, 11:02:16) 
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5250)] on darwin

This was from installing MacPython, which an internal web site says is
necessary because it also installs database software that cvs2svn uses. 
(IIRC, I tried running it before installing MacPython, and saw that it failed.)
The MacPython I installed was from
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.3/Universal-MacPython-2.4.3.dmg

3) The attached CVS repository is put in /tmp, and I ran

/Users/Shared/cvs2svn-2.4.0/cvs2svn --use-cvs --encoding=UTF-8 --default-eol=native --dumpfile=/tmp/cvs2svn-dump /tmp/PROJECT

(Not all of the params are needed to cause the failure, but I'm doing as
requested and providing what I've actually been using.)

4) Running that, the end of the output is:

----- pass 16 (OutputPass) -----
Starting Subversion Dumpfile.
Starting Subversion r1 / 327
Starting Subversion r2 / 327
ERROR: The command 'cvs -Q -R -f -d :local:/tmp/PROJECT co -r1.1 -p -kk Tests/SUBPROJECT/AA BB Help/AA BB Help idx' failed with exit status=1
and the following output:
cvs checkout: cannot chdir to /tmp/PROJECT/Tests/SUBPROJECT/AA: No such file or directory


See the attached repository to reproduce the problem.
