Here is what the CVS folks said in response to my e-mail to them. My original message is after their response.

Hmmmm, that looks like some kind of a bug/incompatibility in cygwin.
You need to ask the cygwin folks what would cause
open(".new.p_change.pl", O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, 0777)
to fail with errno set to ENOENT.

Here is the trace for a checkout. I've removed most of the file and left just two similarly named files. One failed and one succeeded.

Please run the update again with the -t global option to get a trace and post it. My guess is that the affected files have funky names that are confusing cygwin and/or Windows.

Hello, local Navy recruitment office? Yes, this is an emergency... -- Calvin
I'm going to try to add more information in the effort to get a response.
My system setup:
64 bit XP
Dual quad-core
Cygwin 1.7.1
The situation:
I check out a module of my repository (located on a remote machine) and a handful of files do not get downloaded due to the "no such file" error described below. I then try to update the same module and get the same error on the same files. I check it out again and get exactly the same response on exactly the same files.
I have checked the permissions on the files in the repository.
I have removed some watches that were on some of the files.
Bottom line:
I have a very repeatable problem with no evidence of a cause I've found.
If you have any suggestions, please respond.
If this is the incorrect forum, please advise.
-Kevin

I just checked out my repository and got the error:
cvs checkout: cannot write [filename]: No such file or directory
What does this mean and how do I fix it?
