Andy,

I can only offer two suggestions that may (or may not) be of use:

Shouldn't you be using quotes above?  For example:

FLIST='com/irenaissance/cc/server/irRequestHandlerCCJava.java com/irenaissance/cc/server/irSession.java com/irenaissance/cc/server/irODBServer.java com/irenaissance/cc/server/irRequest.java com/irenaissance/cc/server/irHtmlRenderer.java'

Otherwise, FLIST will only be set to the first item in your list.

I believe that the "oddly spelt error message" above is due to a carriage
return that is embedded in the error message.  I have seen cvs display
garbled messages before.  I believe that cvs is really trying to display
something like the following:

    cvs [update aborted]: No such file or directory 'com/irenaissance/cc/server/irRequestHandlerCCJava.java'

BTW, is there any reason why you can't use:

    cvs update

and just let cvs recurse?

Jason
