[cvsnt] Edit on file '...' refused by server

[Krooshof, Frederik]

Hello everyone,

Could anyone tell me how to get rid of the following error message in WinCVS:

cvs server: Edit on file 'SVC_DPIT001.XML' refused by server
cvs edit: invalid data from cvs server

This is after issuïng the following command:
cvs edit -- SVC_DPIT001.XML (in directory C:\develop\se\common\sources\components.dir\)

The message occurs in WinCVS when making any file 'editable' using a computer with an 
XP Professional Service Pack 2 operating system. 

We don't get the message when using a computer with Windows 2000.

The server is the same in both cases:
Our CVSNT repository is on a server with Windows Server 2003, standard edition 
version 5.2 (build 3790.srv03_sp1_rtm.050324-1447: Service Pack 1)

-> Server version is CVSNT 2.5.01 (Travis) Build 1990
-> Client version is CVSNT 2.5.02 (Servalan) Build 2115 (cvsgui active)
    ( same for all cliënts )

Apart from the error message nothing seems to go wrong.
The file becomes writable and a successive commit succeeds. So, do I have to fear 
anything?

Can I do anything to get normal results from this command? Please see the extra 
information below.

Thanks in advance! 
Regards, Frederik Krooshof.
