Hi,

I poll certain duke cvs repos on a regular basis. Since some time, 
access to certain projects throws errors:

~> cvs 
-d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/metadata/cvs-root 
login
Logging in 
to :pserver:[email protected]:2401/cvsroot/metadata/cvs-root
CVS password: 

works fine, but

~> cvs 
-d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/metadata/cvs-root 
co generate
cvs checkout: warning: cannot write to history 
file /cvsroot/metadata/cvs-root/CVSROOT/history: Permission denied
cvs checkout: failed to create lock directory for 
`/cvsroot/metadata/cvs-root/generate' (/cvsroot/metadata/cvs-root/generate/#cvs.lock): 
Permission denied
cvs checkout: failed to obtain dir lock in repository 
`/cvsroot/metadata/cvs-root/generate'
cvs [checkout aborted]: read lock failed - giving up

fails.

The same problem applies also to epylog and urlgrabber. 

Any ideas, whats going wrong?
