You might also try to cvsup again, as sometimes this happens when you cvsup in the middle of an update on the server. Are you using a refuse file? If you're going to generate your own INDEX, you shouldn't refuse any of the ports branches when you cvsup. This is a common problem - it's happened to me - although I'm not sure it would generate this error. - jt
