[cvsnt] "cvs [server aborted]: cannot write CVS/Entries.Backup: Permission denied"

I have just updated the cvs client and server from 2.0.11 to 2.0.34. I did
an update on an existing sandbox and got this message:

cvs -q update -P (in directory U:\production\)
P projects/other_folders_omitted/P.java
cvs [server aborted]: cannot write CVS/Entries.Backup: Permission denied

Why do I get this message? I did not get it before upgrading.
Can someone tell me if this message comes from the server (repository) or on
the client (sandbox)?

cvs version
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.34 (client/server)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.34 (client/server)

I find it strange that I got this message just once, a second identical
(same sandbox) update works fine!!

Any comments?



Thanks in advance
