"cannot change mode of file"?

[Paul D. Smith]

When trying to commit some changes I got this message for most of the
files:

  cvs commit: cannot change mode of file index.php: Operation not permitted
  cvs commit: cannot change mode of file index.php: Operation not permitted

This was printed twice for essentially every file.  On the off chance
"mode" meant UNIX file mode I checked that, but it looked OK (the
workspace file was 664 and the repository was 444--no executable bit
change).

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
