[boost] CVS checkout problem for RC_1_30_0

The following CVS checkout problem causes our automatic regression test for
RC_1_30_0 to stop:

The checkout of RC_1_30_0 branch exits with error code 1. 

The relevant lines from the log are:

> D:\boost2\1_30_1>set HOME=d:\boost2\1_30_1 
> D:\boost2\1_30_1>set CVS_RSH=ssh.exe 
> D:\boost2\1_30_1>cvs -d:ext:..._at_[hidden]:/cvsroot/boost
-z9 checkout -r RC_1_30_0 boost 
...
> U boost/libs/python/test/opaque.cpp
> cvs checkout: move away boost/libs/python/test/opaque.cpp ; it is in the
way
> C boost/libs/python/test/opaque.cpp 
...
D:\boost2\1_30_1>echo 1 

The checkout is "clean", meaning that there are no files in the checkout
directory before checkout, which makes me believe that cvs tries to check
the file opaque.cpp twice.

The CVS web browser shows two opaque.cpp files in the test directory

opaque.cpp
Attic/opaque.cpp 

Am I doing something wrong? 
What is the best way to handle the problem?
I would appreciate if someone who has more CVS knowledge and expertise could
provide me with some guidance.

Thanks a lot.
