I never used tailor under Windows, so it's definitely possible that
something does not work as expected. Given proper feedback I guess it
can be fixed, if at all possible. So, don't take the "not supported" tag
as a strong assertion :-)
Is there
something I can do to fix the problem below, or am I pissing into the
wind?

File "C:\haskell\tailor\tailor-0.9.21\vcpx\cvsps.py", line 554, in

rename(efn, efn+'.old')
OSError: [Errno 17] File exists
First of all, that piece of code gets executed at bootstrap time, to be
sure that nobody will do a "cvs up" by hand: it basically forces a
sticky tag on each entry.
In your case, it seems that the CVS metadir already contains a
"Entries.old" file. I have already seen that happening, so maybe the
right fix should be using a different suffix (say ".tailor-old") for the
old version (and possibly remove the old copy before leaving...). You
could try changing the code, if Python does not scare you.
Another solution could be putting "tag-entries = False" in the
configuration, that disables the feature: then you must respect the
contract of never executing any cvs command there that could alter or
even broke the tailor context.
Hope this helps, let me know if this is not the case :)
ciao, lele.
