Hard to say - I've never seen the problem before. The usual foul-ups 
produce undefined symbols rather than multiply defined symbols.

There are real advantages to the CVS version of Boost in general and 
Filesystem in particular: lots of improvements and bug fixes, plus better 
"getting started" documentation and procedures.

Also, since the CVS version is what most Boost developers have installed on 
their machines, answers to questions might be more on target.
