[cvsnt] Having problems with "cvs watch on" in CVSnt 2.0.55

<>I'm fairly new to CVSnt so apologies if this is either covered 
elsewhere or should be elsewhere...
 
I have a local repository with which I have been trying out the basic 
functionality. This contains a single module (in addition to CVSROOT) 
with a subdirectory. Initially this was being used in an 'Unreserved 
checkout' regime.
 
Subsequently I've tried changing to a 'Reserved Checkout' regime via 
'cvs watch on'. However this appears to only set a watch on one file in 
each directory (verified via examination in TortoiseCVS and by 
examination of the CVS/fileattr.xml file in the repository). Attempting 
to turn a watch on subsequently on an individual file doesn't change the 
fileattr.xml file unless 'cvs watch off <fname>' is first used to remove 
the existing watch.
 
I've tried the obvious stage of using the -R option rather than relying 
on the default. Have also tried release candidate 2.0.56 with the same 
results.
 
Many thanks in anticipation,
 
Dave Huxford
