If you get "Permission denied" then it definately is a permission problem
with one of the files or directories. The permission problem does not
necessarily have to be in the repository. Try updating or commiting a
single file at a time so you can narrow down the problem. Additionally
use the '-t option to cvs to show a trace of CVS actions:
$ cvs -t update file.c
If the trace doesn't make the problem clear, post the trace output to the
list.
