Can you do an 
NDIR loginfo
and tell what it says?

I am pretty sure this has nothing to do with LFN issues, you might cross
check that when running rcs on a DOS6.xx machine without
LFN. 

I vaguely remember having problems with RCS on networked drives
because NW rights differ in a subtle way from DOS rights. 
Under on a local drive, this works:

 echo "Hi" > foo
 attrib foo +r
 ren foo bar
You end up with a write protected file bar.
On a NW drive, this fails because write protection
includes renaming, thus it *is* forbidden.

Your failure (well, RCS's ;-) may occur on another place,
but in a similar context. I'll download the RCS sources
and have a look at them.
