small problem with cvs

[Christian Andersson]

This might be a really easy one for you all to help me whith, but I'm having
a small problem with addingfiles to a newly created cvs-project..

the CVS is installed as a pserver on a Suse Linux 7.2
cvs  version is 1.11

Im using jCVS on windows2000 machines as client..

I have successfully created new "projects/modules" in the cvs server using
jcvs
and added files, etc and used it..

but now, with one of my modules, i cannot add files
all I get is

-------------------------------
cvs server: nothing known about file.java
The command encountered an error.
-------------------------------
what? the file exist, it is not readonly, and the user have total access to
the file..

Also using ssh to login to the linux-server and looking at the directory
structur everything looks alright, the user belongs to the right group (cvs)
the group has rwx on the sub-directory and everything, so I cannot se that
it is a "rights" problem..

doing a "trace"  reveals  the following
-------------------------------
S-> rename(CVS/Entries.Backup,CVS/Entries)
S-> unlink(CVS/Entries.Log)
cvs server: nothing known about file.java

The command encountered an error.
-------------------------------

Is there someway to get more information about what is wrong, debug-logging?
(more then trace)

I need help...
