A bit later:

Something is REALLY grossly wrong here!
When I added a new line to postcommand in order to start doing the
updates from a batch file myself the most unexpected thing happened:

I updated the postcommand file to read:
agiusa E:/Websites/agiusa/updateweb.bat %c
ALL C:/Programs/CVSMailer/CVSMailer.exe -p$CVSPID $USER $CVSROOT %c 

Then when I committed this file (CVSROOT/postcommand) THEN shadow
fired off and updated my website!!!!!

How did that happen?
The shadow file specifies agiusa as the regular expression:

agiusa HEAD e:/Websites/agiusa

and when I commit stuff that matches that then shadow does NOT run.
But now when I commit an admin file into CVSROOT, THEN shadow fires
off and updates my website!

Why, oh, why did this happen? It is totally incomprehensible to me!
Tony, please explain what is supposed to happen, this makes no sense
at all!

What I have been doing is migrating a CVSNT server from an XP-Pro box
where I had shadow running just fine (CVSNT build 2260) to a brand new
W2003 Enterprise server dedicated for CVS and where I have installed
build 2330.

Is the problem in a bug in the script handling in 2330?
Will it be cured if I put 2344 into it instead?
