I think the problem with this is that the releases itself aren't being
built from a distinct CTM delta base.  Thus, it's very hard to
maintain synchronization between the CTM batching and the actual
release build process.

You might get more luck with CVSup in this case, since it can handle
mismatching files (and will at worst retransfer them entirely,
something CTM cannot do since it's operating offline).

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
