errors tracking third party sources in cvs (with symlinks to repository)

[Finlay Dobbie]

I'm having some problems trying to join some tags on a vendor branch
on a remote repository (CVS_RSH=ssh), where /cvs is a symlink to
/Volumes/src/cvs

gonzales:~ finlay$ cvs -d:ext:address@hidden:/cvs/od -z3 co -j
BUGZILLA_2_18_RC3 -j BUGZILLA_2_18 www/bugzilla
lock.c:177: failed assertion `strncmp (repository,
current_parsed_root->directory,strlen
(current_parsed_root->directory)) == 0'
cvs [server aborted]: received abort signal
lock.c:177: failed assertion `strncmp (repository,
current_parsed_root->directory,strlen
(current_parsed_root->directory)) == 0'
cvs [server aborted]: received abort signal

gonzales:~ finlay$ cvs
-d:ext:address@hidden:/Volumes/src/cvs/od -z3 co -j
BUGZILLA_2_18_RC3 -j BUGZILLA_2_18 www/bugzilla
protocol error: directory '/cvs/od/www/bugzilla' not within root
'/Volumes/src/cvs/od'

Anybody got any ideas why this should be happening and what I can do to fix it?
