problem commiting over ssh

[Doug Munsinger]

I hope this is a simple and stupid error on my part, but I can't find any 
specifics in any of the cvs docs nor on the web - I can diff, checkout, BUT 
I cannot commit -
This is commiting to a new respository, BUT - the behavior is the same 
trying to commit to the one we currently have in service. I'm trying to get 
our developers access remotely using ssh, but I have to solve this first.

Solutions? Ideas? any more data needed to figure this out?
Much thanks in advance.
