Subject: cvsup blowing on supfile

I have been trying to use the binary version of cvsup in hopes
of not having to compile modula-3 on my system. I am using 
the 13.4 version from ftp.freebsd.org and have the following 
supfile :

*default host=cvsup.freebsd.org
*default release=cvs
*default prefix=/usr
*default tag=RELENG_2_2_1_RELEASE
*default base=/usr
*default delete use-rel-suffix compress
src-all
src-secure


When I try to run "cvsup -g -L 2 mysupfile" I get the follwing error :

Parsing supfile "cvsupfile"
Release not specified for collection "*default"

I have tried everything and cannot get cvsup to read the release. 
If I move the release line to the top of the file then it barks
about not being able to find the host.

Any clues?
