Cheers, I'll do that and post back success or otherwise.

BTW: I am 110% confident that my repository etc will be fine - I have 
been using CVSNT long enough to really trust it rather a lot - much 
more than I would for other software that costs a lot more money. My 
experience with CVSNT is rock-solid so far.
