I have no explicit diagnosis, but
(1) I see that you are using CVS and AFS.
Many readers of this list recommend using
CVS server mode, rather than upon a network
filesystem. I must admit that I think that is
bogus - else what's a network filesystem for?
- but there you have it.
(2) Are you, by any chance, using LINUX?
I have been having problems left, right, and center
with the combination of CVS, LINUX, and AFS.
My sysadmins tell me that the LINUX AFS client
has problems, doing things like returning incorrect
status for directory queries.
I *know* that I cannot do a cvs co or cvs release on
LINUX/AFS, and expect it to work reliably. Any
directory manipulations by CVS using LINUX/AFS
are suspect - certainly, "prune" and "release" don't
work, but I suspect that making directories has issues.
I suspect that LINUX/AFS is also associated with
broken timestamps, updates that don't really work, etc.
"Suspect" because I haven't isolated the problem, but
I have been having all sorts of issues since I started
using CVS to do builds on LINUX.
I am about to declare myself a personal rule:
not to use CVS on AFS on LINUX, at least until a
new rev of the AFS client for LINUX comes out.
Only to use CVS on AFS on Solaris/x86.
