Yes, all are listed in my config file as

  ///var/sync/capad/perl/modules/

which is really just a directory with a bunch of CVS sandboxes.  The
actual repository is on another server.  That is specified in each
sandbox in the file ./CVS/Root, and in the environment variable
$CVSROOT (though I do not believe the environment variable is
necessary).

If I run the command I think tailor is running, I get this:

  $ TZ=UTC cvs -f -d///var/sync/capad/perl/modules/ rlog -N -S -r:HEAD 
-d'2005-01-04 23:37:55 UTC<' Apache > /tmp/tailor6O0355cvs

  cvs [rlog aborted]: ///var/sync/capad/perl/modules/CVSROOT: No such file or 
directory

I think I must keep tailor pointing to my sandboxes as upstream, so that
sync'ing back from darcs works.  So far, I haven't had any problems
pulling down revisions with this setup, well, until last week when it
stopped working.

I am wondering if there might be some file that is corrupted in each
sandbox.  Late last week, I started getting this error on one of the CVS
modules, but not the rest.  Yesterday I tried each module independently,
and all failed with the same error message.
