[Biojava-l] Having problems downloading CVS source

Anonymous CVS for biojava is having problems with permissions inside the 
biojava-live repository. I can reproduce the problems that Sylvain is 
having.

These permission problems are usually caused in the real production 
repository and replicated to the anonymous cvs machine when we sync the 
codebases up each hour. If someone can fix this on the production 
machine then the problem should go away.
