Just a long shot from another project:
If your PC is an XP-Pro then check the permissions on
%system32%\cmd.exe
It might be that the user that checks in files is not allowed to
execute this file or that SYSTEM is not allowed either.

Another long shot:
Check the permissions on teh CVSMailer folder tree for SYSTEM too.

Apart from this I cannot help much I'm afraid, maybe someone else
knows some gotchas concerning execution of exe files via the loginfo
script file?
