Your message doesn't give enough info.  First, what drive is the
/me/cvs directory on?  What does "TRUENAME \me\cvs" print when issued
from exactly the same place where you tried to run CVS?

Did you try to do the same on a local disk?  If so, did it work?  If
you didn't try it, please do.

Next, do you have DJGPP.ENV file (from djdev201.zip) installed?  If
so, set LFN=y in the environment and see if that helps.

,v shouldn't be the problem if your installation supports long file
names (which it should by default).  Anyway, problems related to long
file names usually return ENOENT, not ENODEV.

If none of the above helps, please tell exactly what command line did
RCS get invoked with, then run that same command manually and report
what happens.
