I'm about to start pulling my hair out.  I still get this to do what I want 
to do.  I did the following.

* First I deleted my sandbox.  I then checked out the root level module.  I 
checked the files in question.  They all had Header and Log keywords set for 
my checkin.
* cvs update -ko <file>
* cvs commit -m "..." <file>
* copy original file back into sandbox
* cvs commit -m "..." <file>

* I then check the file again.  It appears that it hasn't added to the 
Header or the Log so I think I've fixed the problem.

* delete sandbox
* checkout module
* check file again and notice that it does have my Header and Log info in 
the file.

What's going on?

Thanks,
Nick
