Every time I check out my module on a branch, I 
get errors during the auto refresh.  This is using 
the internal cvs client.

A colleague has reproduced this on a different 
machine.  We were both able to check out the main 
line with no issues.  On both of our machines the 
CVS/entries file looks correct.  The only 
difference between the NB4 entries file and the 
Netbeans 3.5.1 entries file is that the NB3.5.1 
file has pruned empty directories in it.  The NB4 
version does not.

The error happens on many files.  (Maybe one for 
every directory ...?)

Many errors are because files that it thinks are 
directories are not: (build.xml is an ant script)
Error:
lock directory for `/ocie/dev/cvs-j/java/support/
ant/build.xml' (/ocie/dev/cvs-j/java/support/ant/
build.xml/#cvs.lock): No such file or directory

The ones that are directories fail with a weird 
path:  This would be a valid path, but notice that 
JavaOcie (a module name) is not resolved to the 
java directory like in the previous example.  Also 
notice the appearance of a '.' all of a sudden
Error:
failed to create lock directory for `/ocie/dev/
cvs-j/./JavaOcie/src/dsi' (/ocie/dev/cvs-j/./
JavaOcie/src/dsi/#cvs.lock): No such file or 
directory

Here is another file that errored.  Notice that 
the name is wrong.  Correct name: dsi/core/crypto/
DCipherAlgorithm.java.  The file it is complaining 
about is CipherAlgorithm.java not 
DCipherAlgorithm.java
Error:
cvs-1.11.1p1-SUNOS-5.6 server: failed to create 
lock directory for `/ocie/dev/cvs-j/java/src/dsi/

My CVS/entries file for the previous example is:
