You have included all 3 but didn't specify the proper tag. You have docs-all and src-all using the same tag. The docs and the ports are only tagged for "tag=.". When you combine like this, a default tag is preferable to adding tag=? to a area. Besides, you don't need to cvsup the docs, src, and ports at the same frequency. So, whay add them all to a single script.
