Help cvs Checkout aborted issue

[Pranab Panda \(pkpanda\)]

Hi

I am a cvs newbee and the build system i inherited is

repeatedly failing with following error

 cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot open nmstools/j2sdk/linux/1.5.0_07/demo/jvmti/hprof/src/CVS: Permission denied

We do have a smbmount on windows from the linux machine.

Does someone knows what could the issue and how to  solve it or if any workarounds

thanks in advance

regards

pranab
