Robert -- the output of 'status,' 'update,' 'status,' and then a final try at commiting the file is below.
By 'doesn't do a thing,' I mean that the status of the file doesn't seem to change nor can I commit the file. I'm new to cvs, and I've been reading the documentation and the cvs book (by Jennifer Vesperman), but I'm still quite lost about what the problem is exactly.

What do you mean by "doesn't do a thing"? No output, does not change the situation, ? You can see current sticky tags on a file with "cvs status file", and update just that file to the trunk using "cvs update -A file". Are you sure you are in the right directory, and are operating on a CVS module that's been checked out (e.g. not one directory up)?
