System config version control with cvs-Unable to commit! |

Hi,
I decide to make periodic backups of my system's configuration files (linux
Suse 7.3) using cvs.
I importe /etc into a repository in a users home dir and changed the owner
and group of those files to that particular user and the 'users' group.
I then checked out, the repository and proceeded to copy /etc again into the
checked out directory.
I then issued
sudo -u saimonm cvs update etc (saimonm has permission to run cvs as himself)
This worked fine...however...after
sudo -u saimonm cvs commit -m "regular commit" etc
I got the following:
...various lines similar to the following 4
cvs commit: in directory etc/X11/susewm/AddEntrys/SuSE/Utilities/unspec:
cvs commit: ignoring CVS/Root because it does not contain an absolute
pathname.
cvs commit: in directory etc/X11/susewm/AddEntrys/SuSE/Utilities/unspec:
cvs commit: ignoring CVS/Root because it does not contain an absolute
pathname.
cvs [commit aborted]: cannot open directory
/home/saimonm/cvs/configBK/#SuSEwmSKIPthisFILE
I checked out cvs archives and somebody mentioned having r/w permissions and
setting the sguid bit for all the directories in the repo. That is the case
and I'm still getting the same error message.
The strange thing is I can commit fine using cervisia (cvs client).
I would appreciate any sort of help on this matter as I'm a bit lost.
Thanks,
Saimon
