Except this is what is in postcommand:

# If the name "ALL" appears as a regular expression it is always used
# in addition to the first matching regex or "DEFAULT".
DEFAULT F:/Engineering/Projects/CVSMailer/CVSMailer.exe -p$CVSPID
$USER $CVSROOT %c 

I am using modules2 as a test in this repository, but ModuleXX is not
defined there, it is treated as a physical module.

If I move into the Source folder where the second file resides and do
a commit there I get the following output and the commit succeeds:

cvs commit -m "Testing CVSMailer run 2" (in directory
F:\Engineering\Projects\Bosse\ModuleXX\Source\)
cvs commit: Examining .
Checking in SecondFileSrc.txt;
\KORVkiosk/ModuleXX/Source/SecondFileSrc.txt,v  <--  SecondFileSrc.txt

CVSMailer sending messages

***** CVS exited normally with code 0 *****

So I repeated the initial test and it works exactly like the first
time giving me a final part like this:

CVSMailer sending messages

cvs commit: Examining Source
cvs server: nothing known about `-m'
cvs server: nothing known about `Testing CVSMailer run 3'
cvs server: nothing known about `--'
cvs server: Examining Source
cvs [server aborted]: correct above errors first!

***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****

So somehow the recursing of cvsnt is broken, but why...

I will have to repeat on another repo.
