[cvsnt] cvsnt & win2k3 script permissions

We have been running cvsnt successfully on win2k for serval years now
with scripts like update_websites.pl via postcommit to make a very
affect
team development solutions for our enviroment.

I have just replicated this arangement on windows 2003 as we now need to
do
development more close with iis6. cvsnt installed nicely using the
latest version,
viewcvs was took a while to get working anyone who tried to get
"ViewCvs4CVSNT"
working and couldn't on iis6 the trick is to change the application pool
that viewcvs runs under to another user than network services (the
default)
I used IWAM_XXX which I couldn't find the answer online hence commenting
on it here in the hope the next person will have an easier time
googling.
So I thought I was all setup and was just adding in things like the
postcommit
script I discovered these don't seem to work now. This seems to be true
of
all scripts I can call like the old loginfo and cvsnotify scripts. 

I have tried temporary setting the permissions on perl, cmd.exe and
update_websites.pl 
to read & excute. The cvs temp folder and the responsity to have
everyone full 
control yet when I commit a file that is in a module set to use
postcommit 
script I just get a script failed message on commit. I have also tried 
changing the cvsnt services from system to a local user with no affect.

Does anyone know what I have to do or what permissions I set on win2k3
to
allow cvsnt to run scripts? Has anyone else installed cvsnt on win2k3
and
used scripts in things like loginfo or postcommit successfully?

thanks
Mat.
