Have you tried 2.0.1?  That doesn't do the ampersand correctly if you don't
specify the '-d' but seems to be OK if you do. (which is annoying because it
worked last time I tried it).  It certainly seems to get the CVS/Entries right
in any case.

It's possible you're the only one using ampersand modules, but it'd be nice if
it worked.
