Hi, When you say "Ant <CVS> wants to find the cvs dir in the user's path", which cvs dir are you referring to?
I have a CVS repository with a module called 'Bar'. On my machine I have that 'Bar' module checked out. I followed your advice and added the full path to 'Bar' to my PATH (I'm on a Linux box). That didn't help. Maybe you were referring to some other CVS dir?
