That means that you don't have permission to rename the newly-created
RCS file in the repository to it's proper name, replacing the old RCS
file.  On my Unix system, that only occurs if the containing directory
is marked sticky (which would be a very bad idea in a repository) and
you aren't the owner of either the containing directory or the old RCS
file.  If that doesn't seem to apply to your situation, you'll have to
check your system documentation for the rename() system call.
