[gui-dev] CVS lockup in the gui module for its themes folder - bad access rights

I can't update the GUI module completely, because of strange bad access 
rights for a lock folder used in CVS:

cvs server: Updating com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/themes
cvs server: failed to create lock directory for 
`/cvs/gui/com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/themes' 
(/usr/local/tigris/data/helm/cvs/lock/gui/com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/themes/#cvs.lock): 
Permission denied
cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository 
`/cvs/gui/com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/themes'
cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up

Apparently, the .../cvs/lock/... directory was created by the wrong user, 
and denies access to users in the group normally granted update accesses to 
the GUI module.

(note that the user "guest" is part of that group which should be able to 
get locks to perform updates, even if it is not granted 
additions/deletions/commit)

Because of this lock, that occurs only for that subfolder, the following 
folders after "/gui/themes" are not updated, and must be updated 
separately... This is new, because in the past even "guest" could update its 
sources...

Only LimeWire admins can correct this by checking the Unix folder ownerships 
and access rights in the cvs/lock folder indicated above.
