Did you run './build,sh clean' after the cvs update?
Everything is fine for me with today's cvs.

The "Merging" messages mean that you have edited your
local copy of this file and cvs is trying to add its changes,
which are then clashing with your changes.

Move your changed files out of the way and do another cvs update
to get fresh copies of those files.

Try doing your 'forrest seed' at some other directory location,
i.e. not under the xml-forrest root, but say /home/you/newone/
