Hello, I managed to isolate the problem even more: the tailor will only fail if you already create the repository.
For example: $ ls -FAC $ tailor --debug --verbose --encoding=ISO-8859-1 \ --source-kind=cvs --target-kind=darcs \ --source-repository=":pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/project/cl-plus-ssl/cvsroot"\ --module=trivial-gray-streams --start-revision=INITIAL \ --target-repository=/home/pvaneynd/fakeroot/repository/k/trivial-gray-streams-upstream ... 14:31:09 [I] [Ok] 14:31:09 [I] /home/pvaneynd/fakeroot/repository/k/trivial-gray-streams-upstream $ darcs add --case-ok --not-recursive --quiet COPYING 14:31:09 [I] [Ok] 14:31:09 [I] /home/pvaneynd/fakeroot/repository/k/trivial-gray-streams-upstream $ darcs record --all --pipe What is the date? Who is the author? What is the patch name? What is the log? Finished recording patch '[project @ 2005-12-04 23:41:05 by dlichteblau]' 14:31:09 [I] [Ok] 14:31:09 [I] -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* 14:31:09 [I] 0 pending changesets in state file 14:31:09 [I] Update completed, now at revision "2005-12-04 23:41:05 by dlichteblau" $ darcs check Applying patch 7 of 7... done. The repository is consistent! $ rm -rf * $ darcs init $ ls _darcs $ tailor --debug --verbose --encoding=ISO-8859-1 \ --source-kind=cvs --target-kind=darcs \ --source-repository=":pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/project/cl-plus-ssl/cvsroot"\ --module=trivial-gray-streams --start-revision=INITIAL \ --target-repository=/home/pvaneynd/fakeroot/repository/k/trivial-gray-streams-upstream ... 14:32:20 [I] [Ok] 14:32:20 [I] /home/pvaneynd/fakeroot/repository/k/trivial-gray-streams-upstream $ darcs add --case-ok --not-recursive --quiet COPYING 14:32:20 [I] [Ok] 14:32:20 [I] /home/pvaneynd/fakeroot/repository/k/trivial-gray-streams-upstream $ darcs record --all --pipe What is the date?

Duplicate patch name: Wed Nov 9 23:11:00 CET 2005 dlichteblau * [project @ 2005-11-09 22:11:00 by dlichteblau] initial import So the problem seems to be an already existing (empty) darcs repository.
