[rancid] svn not updating?

Hi all.

Trying to get rancid set up on a small network. I'm using Centos 5.3 as a host and svn as the CVS. It is almost there, I think. It's going to the ciscos every hour. It's grabbing configs; the timestamps in /var/rancid/ciscos/configs are current. It's emailing results. But the results...

The output looks like a diff <config> with a null file. And the 'router config diffs' email contents are all the same, from one hour to the next, one day to the next. I've diff'ed several of the diffs, and they are all identical.

Any idea what's going on, and what do I need to do to fix it?

Here's the what I think may be the relevant extract from /var/rancid/logs:

-----------------
.
.
.
Sending .
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Directory '/cis' is out of date

ending: Sat Oct 17 17:09:17 AKDT 2009

-------------------

For what it's worth, here's some other maybe relevant info:

here's /etc/rancid/rancid.conf (comments removed):

Code:

TERM=network;export TERM
umask 027
TMPDIR=/tmp; export TMPDIR
BASEDIR=/var/rancid; export BASEDIR
PATH=/usr/libexec/rancid:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin; export PATH
CVSROOT=$BASEDIR/CVS; export CVSROOT
LOGDIR=$BASEDIR/logs; export LOGDIR
RCSSYS=svn; export RCSSYS
FILTER_PWDS=NO; export FILTER_PWDS
NOCOMMSTR=NO; export NOCOMMSTR
LIST_OF_GROUPS="cis"




permissions is always a gotcha, so here's the /var/rancid permissions tree:

Code:

[ ~]$ ls -la /var/rancid
