Problem with Symbolic link & LockDir

[Srinivas P Shenoy]

Hi,

  We have our repositories located in /home/cvs/.

  There is a symbolic link created to this path called /cvs

  which is used by all with the pserver.

   our CVSROOT env variable is set like this.

 setenv CVSROOT :pserver:address@hidden:/cvs

 We have added in the CVSROOT/config file,

 LockDir=/usr/local/cvslock  which is having full permissions for all.

 Now after adding the LockDir,

 when we try to check out  with a tag we are getting the following  
 error.

cvs co -r REL_1_0 my_module

 Has any one seen this error before ?
 Is the any work around for this ? or we need to change /cvs to
/home/cvs ??

 the version of cvs we are using is 

Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.1p1 (client/server)

Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Srinivas.
