This is because your folders contain too may files with too long names
and you are using a too old version of cvsnt.
It happens because with old cvs the files to tag in a folder were
listed on the command line to the taginfo script and Windows does not
accept command lines longer than about 4000 characters.
When I pointed this out to Tony he changed the way cvs operates so
that these files are now supplied on standard input and there is no
more any problems. :=)

So please update your setup to the latest stable cvsnt version on your
server (probably 2.0.14) and to WinCvs 1.3.14 on the clients.
