Guessing that you've run into a local permissions issue. This happens with any repo manager: if it can't access a required file, it can't do squat! I regularly do "chmod -R u+rw ." from the top level of my local repos to make sure at least -I- can access all of the files. That said, glad you found a way around the issue. Cheers! - MLD
