[rancid] Adding new group/svn

Hi,

I migrated to subversion a year or two ago.

Yesterday I wanted to add a new group for some customer equipment.

I added the group to rancid.conf (LIST_OF_GROUPS) and then ran “rancid-cvs” which should autocreate a new directory and add that directory to subversion.  The directory was created, but svn keeps throwing errors.  Any ideas on what is actually failing?

This is rancid 3.5.1 on FreeBSD (from ports).

Everything is under ~rancid, including the repo.

Here is the initial output from rancid-cvs:

[rancid at miko ~]$ /usr/local/libexec/rancid/rancid-cvs -f /usr/local/etc/rancid/rancid.conf
svnadmin: E200011: Repository creation failed

svn: E155007: '/home/rancid/customer-router/router.db' is not a working copy
[rancid at miko ~]$

Any ideas?  All those paths are correct.  The existing repo is in /home/rancid/SVN.  Another group that’s working is in /home/rancid/routers.

Thanks,

Charles
