Sander and Ed helped me out. 

Problems with jakarta-slide are:

1) The illegal ,v file (apparantly CVS does this sometime).
2) 5 files in the Attic (deep down in the directory structure) whom
have very odd characters in their filenames.
3) 3 files for whom a specific tag is wrongly classified as a branch.

Otherwise, things work.

Options for fixing:

A) Edit the current live CVS repo. rm the illegal ,v file; rename the
5 files (or rm them depending on jakarta-slide's preference), edit the
3 files with the bad tag by hand. Then migrate easily.

B) Use the --encoding=latin1 and --forcetag arguments and remove the
illegal ,v file before the migration.
