Never mind - this turns out to be a cygwin bug that I'm not exactly sure how it happens. It seems that a call to open the stimpy/uluru/external/lame directory succeeds when it should not hence confusing the cvs logic. Simply checking out in a different directory is a work-around. It must be a problem with cacheing directory entries or somthing like that in cygwin. Another 2 hours wasted ...
