Running 2.3.3 here.

Followed the guide located at http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch1_:_Network_Backups_With_Rancid

Every time the daemon runs, it generates this:

rancid at rancid:~/var$ cat logs/edgeswitches.20100621.185155 
starting: Mon Jun 21 18:51:55 EDT 2010

svn: warning: 'edgeswitch32' is not a working copy


Trying to get all of the configs.
All routers sucessfully completed.

svn: '.' is not a working copy
svn: '/usr/local/rancid/var/edgeswitches' is not a working copy

ending: Mon Jun 21 18:53:26 EDT 2010

I've run the /usr/local/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs; it returns without any message at all.

What am I doing wrong?
