[bt-devel] Problem doing CVS Commit

Hello I am having a problem doing CVS commit.  I go into my bibletime 
directory and do "cvs update" and it updates bibletime, putting M by the 
files that I modified and it did not report any errors during the merge 
process.  Next I try to do "cvs -z9 
-d:ext:lukeskyfly@cvs.bibletime.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bibletime commit" 
and cvs examins my bibletime directory.  Then it asks for my password and I 
type it in.  Next it says "Could not chdir to home directory 
/home/users/l/lu/lukeskyfly: No such file or directory" but it continues and 
gives me a vi prompt where I can create a message log.  I am not sure how to 
create a message log(or what to put in one) so I simply do :qa and that exits 
vi.  Next it tells me 
"Log message unchanged or not specified
a)bort, c)ontinue, e)dit, !)reuse this message unchanged for remaining dirs
Action: (continue)?" and I press return to contiune.  It then goes through 
all of the bibletime directories again and gives me a message like: "Checking 
in bibletime/tooltipdef.h;
/cvsroot/bibletime/bibletime/bibletime/tooltipdef.h,v  <--  tooltipdef.h
new revision: 1.16; previous revision: 1.15
done
cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/home/users/l/lu/lukeskyfly): No such file 
ordirectory
cvs commit: saving log message in /tmp/cvsbFNAs8"  Even though I need to 
update several other files, including whatthisdef.h which is in the same 
directory as tooltipdef.h  I can redo the whole update/commit process but 
each time it only updates one file and that is very time-consuming since I 
need to change another 5 or 6 files and I only have a dialup connection.   I 
know there must be "something I am missing somewhere."  Can anyone please 
help me??
