The problem is actually on the server - having two modules with the same 
name.

This simply cannot work if there are Windows clients - CVS tries to 
preserve case but people *will* rename directories, and directories in 
CVS aren't versioned in the same way as files.

It's up to the admin of the sourceforge project to remove the bogus 
module, or simply accept he will have no contributors running Windows 
machines (or OSX machines, as they are case insensitive too).
