Really? I've had this problem several times with read-only,
NFS-mounted repositories.
# mv $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/val-tags $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/val-tags.hold
And try a read-only CVS operation. If the repository is _really_
read-only, you should get an error. If you just give '-R' to cvs(1),
but the respository can really be written to, it will write to
val-tags.
