,filename, is the new RCS file -- after it's been completely written
successfully, CVS renames it to filename,v, atomically replacing the
existing RCS file (if any).  This ensures that you don't get a partial
RCS file (or *no* RCS file!) if the system just happens to crash at an
inopportune time.  In your case, that rename is failing, which indicates
some kind of a permission problem in the repository.  The most common
source of screwy permission problems is using a network file system
(particularly Samba) to access the repository rather than using client/
server CVS like you should.
