1.11.*what* for the client? The "rlog is deprecated" message was eliminated
long ago. Try the latest client.

cvs rlog -r[revision] [module]/path should work. 

For example, in my repository, we have a module named cvs-test (we use this
to experiment with CVS features), and the following command works fine:

E:\>cvs rlog -r1.1 cvs-test/jhyslop/hi

RCS file: /local/cvs/cvs-test/jhyslop/hi,v
head: 1.2
[blah blah blah]

E:\>

HTH!
