Courtesy of Florent Mertens, I have been getting regular NTFS-3g updates on my
Ubuntu Edgy system.  This update, which I installed last night, appears 
to have
caused a regression with respect to using NTFS-3g to hold a local CVS tree.
When I backed off to 0.20070118-BETA, but left the latest FUSE release
(fusermount version: 2.6.3) unchanged, the problem disappeared.

What I was seeing was intermittent problems reported by "cvs update":
RCS file: /repo/x/foo.h,v
retrieving revision 1.1
retrieving revision 1.3
Merging differences between 1.1 and 1.3 into foo.h
cvs update: cannot change mode of x/foo.h: Operation not permitted
x/foo.h already contains the differences between 1.1 and 1.3

Since the problem was intermittent I didn't get a chance to really 
investigate.

Could this be related?  Since the problem was intermittent, I assume not.  But
maybe there is some second order effect?

Here is what mount says:
/dev/disk/by-uuid/0440226A402262A2 on /media/sda1 type fuseblk
(rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096)
However, in /etc/fstab we see:
# /dev/sda1
UUID=0440226A402262A2 /media/sda1     ntfs-3g
defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46,show_sys_files 0       1

% /bin/ls -dl CVS/Entries
-rwxrwx--- 1 root plugdev 1232 2007-02-08 17:08 CVS/Entries
% grep plug /etc/group
plugdev:x:46:haldaemon,ota
% echo $user
