You should get a message for each file in addition to the message for
each directory -- CVS is apparently not finding the tag, which usually
means that you misspelled it.  It would be helpful to see the exact
command you used, the resulting output from CVS, and "cvs status" output
for one of the files.

Again, it would be helpful to see the exact command and the exact error
message.  Are you using a local repository or client/server mode?  If
you're using client/server mode, it may well be that your server is too
old to support -B (if so, the command will probably work without the
-B).

Well, it's all a question of perspective. -- Calvin
