Joe,

Thanks for the tip.  Once I switched the repository locations in the 
CVSROOT, it worked just like a charm.  BTW, why did the cvsroot change 
from /usr/local/cvsroot to /cvs/jsword?  

Bobby

P.S. I've updated 
http://sword.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Jsword/JSWordCVS to 
reflect the new location.
