this file apparently was not added properly or something similar.  easiest
fix is remove/comment it from router.db, run rancid-run, replace it in
router.db.

this can occur if cvs is interrupted.  as the rancid user, run cvs update in
that group directory.  you may need to rm the file and run re-run the cvs
update.  rancid does not do an update because we feel that this is an
error situation where either someone externally modified the file or cvs
crashed.

both a cvs problems - with some rancid knowledge required, i suppose.  there
is a FAQ that comes with rancid and is available on the website.
