OK, I managed to finally make this happen (something must be wrong
somewhere in the cycle, since I kept not getting a return prompt frm
SF in my shell after doing various cvs commands. <ctl-C> got it back,
but ghu only knows what that causes) BUT after doing a clean checkout
(empty directory) the permissions are gone again :-(.
The SF logs seem to show a successful removla/replacement.
