No, this problem has been resolved.  The cvs update command is now working for
me very well.  I did some adjusting of the mount options so that I 
would appear
to be the owner of files created in the CVS checkout tree and that caused the
errors to stop.  Why the problem was intermittent, I don't know.  Perhaps on
some code paths, the cvs command doesn't treat this failure as fatal.  In any
case, I'm running version 1.0 and am a happy camper.  Thank you.

I appreciate you following up on this trouble report.
