[cvsnt] tagging / pre-tag checks - what is different to other cvs commands?

[Markus.Gebhardt at etas.de]

Hi,

I'm using the CVSNT 2.0.34 on a Debian server, and access the server from 
windows clients mostly running Tortoise. (cvsnt client 2.0.11 and 2.0.34)
Everything runs smoothly, but now I run into problems with tagging:

I'm working with a project and everything is o.k. - checkin out, cvs edit, 
commit - the usual devlopment process.
But when I try to tag the module or folders in the module, I get a list of 
the folders/subfolders with the error

Invalid repository path - /repositorypath/module/folder
cvs server: Pre-tag check failed 

for each path and I don't see why - the path definitely is correct, (all 
other operations work), neither an update or a complete re-checking out of 
the module helps.
Weird enough, I already tagged before (the same module, but before 
updateing the server to from 2.0.4 to 2.0.34), and tagging works fine on 
other modules.

Does anyone has an idea how the pr-tag checks work and why they behave 
differently, or what could cause that effect ? 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / with regards
