Use your build system (make?) to fix the type/creator codes.

When something like this happens to me, I resort to brute force (a.k.a. CVS 
voodoo). Replace the file $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/cvswrappers with the fixed 
version. Then commit your changes. You'll need direct access to the 
repository files to do this.
