Problems with rtag command in WinCVS |

Here's the history of the problem:
I was labelling up a module in WinCVS and the message 'waiting for x's lock
in /<directory>' came up and wouldn't disappear. I checked with the
developer, and he knew nothing about it, so I went into the repository and
deleted the #cvs.lock file which had this developer's name on it (as per
the Cederqvist). Then WinCVS aborted the tagging with the message:
cvs [rtag] aborted: reading from server: Invalid argument.
This problem only affected the particular module that was under going a tag
when the intial 'waiting for lock in' popped up. All the other modules I
tried to tag were fine. I can also update and commit files in the problem
directory except for one particular file which seems to be causing all the
problems. If I try to create a new version of that file, I get a similar
message:
cvs [commit aborted]: reading from server: Invalid argument
When I try running similar commands from a dos prompt, I get a slightly
more informative errors:
cvs [rtag aborted]: could not open lock file '\\server\module\,file.cpp,'
File Exists.
When I then try to manually change the attributes of the file so that it
can be opened, I get a similar message, this time telling me that the
,file.cpp, file could not be renamed to file.cpp,v.
I guess that CVS is doing something odd to the read/write permissions as it
executes the rtag command for this particular file. Is there anyway of
fixing this? I haven't tried stopping and restarting the CVS service yet,
but that would be next on the list I suppose. I really don't want to have
to reboot the server.
Many thanks to anyone who can help
