[cvsnt] Cannot rename file error

[Ilya Haykinson]

We've had the same problems several times now. Rebooting the server helped
the frist time, and the second time I think stopping the CVS service and the
Lock service seems to have helped.

This is a new problem -- we've been using cvsnt for months and this only
been happening with builds 68 and later.
